Properly in quotes.
Well, I don't know about GOOD, but it does bring back memories!
I'm still going through therapy from the emotional trauma. Some wounds never heal.

Time does miminize the pain, though.
Comments from DD:
Thanksgiving/Christmas of Plebe year: "I don't want to talk about it" (Plebe summer)
Summer after Plebe year "Thank goodness it's over, and I NEVER have to be a Plebe again." She still didn't want to talk about it.
A few days ago (Summer after Youngster year): "It's I-day. What are some of those sites that had all the Plebe summer pictures. Do you think they'll have any up yet?" She skimmed through several hundred pictures, although I think she was more interested in pictures of the detailers (including several good friends) than the Plebes. As she skimmed the pictures, I heard more comments about her own Plebe summer than I have during the past two years!

New Plebes have always held a fascination for everybody - especially the new Youngsters. You can go through Sea Trials, climb Herndon, and put on that one diagonal stripe - but, emotionally, you're still a Plebe until you see another, real, Plebe.
That's when it really hits you - "I'm not a Plebe anymore."
You have to see somebody else be a Plebe before you can really accept that that's not you anymore.
