OCS????
I was ROTC, Army, Distinguished Military Graduate, '83-86. Got stuck in the great sandbox called White Sands Missile Range, NM. Boy what a schitthole that was. Aside from being a professional toilet----out of 600 military, there were 19 full bird colonels---just about all were passed over, 60 field grades, all passed over, and 60% silly-villains all federal civil service. There is a missile display park right in the front we used to call Civil Service Park--They don't work and you can't fire them. My welcome to the bachelor officer's quarters was meeting a bunch of other lieutenants and young captains with a greeting of "Who did you piss off to get here?"
We were so isolated we had cable radio! Cable just to listen to radio! We had WWF on 24/7, cable TV had WOR, WGN, WTBS. Jesse Ventura was wearing his fur boas and trash talking and Vince McMahon ran around yelling and screaming. Then the new Commadning General took over and his woife was offended that the base cable station had---Oh My Gawd, Playboy Channel! HIde the kids, Louise, they're showing naked wimmin! Oh the humanity. She got that blocked and taken off the cable provider.
Our pasttime as to drive like hell to Alamagordo 45 miles away to eat at McDonald's and walk around the schittiest mall you've ever seen. Then drive like hell back to see who can make it the fastest without a ticket. El Paso was another winner. But that's another rant.

Re: OCS????
I lived in Lubbock, or should I say was 'condemned' in Lubbock. That place is the place that time forgot. That area of the country is barren and for a 25 year old, the social activities sucked. And that is with a University in town.
I am not a big drinker, but the entire surrounding counties are dry, the city did allow a strip outside of town to sell alcohol. It looked like a mini Las Vegas, you could see the neon for miles.
Ah, wake me up the nightmare continues.

Yep, speaking from experience. I got both nipples pierced, a tribal band all the way around my upper right arm, an aquaries sign on my upper left arm, a tribal lizard on my upper spine, a melting yin-yang on one shoulder and a Japanese symbol on the other shoulder.
The thing I like though, is I can cover everything up with a T-shirt!
So I can pretend to be normal, if needed....

Lordy . . . I used to have to fly into Midland and drive to remote sites near Benedum, TX. Good gawd. Now that's no where. The airport in Midland only has flights from 9am to 5pm. Let me tell ya, we worked HARD to finish by 4pm.
Funny thing is they has ISDN connectivity long before most places. The oil companies paid for the line in the 70's.

4route was pretty much dead on with the description... The underarm by the armpit is VERY SENSITIVE. When the dude was just drawing in the design with a ball point pin, it felt like he was tatooing. He kept asking me if I needed to take a brake. I was like HELL NO!!! Just get this sh!t over with!!!
Needless to say, I'm not getting that one touched up...

Hahahahaha that's what the tattoo guy offered to me. You can do this in two sittings or one whole sitting. I told him I'm going to take this all at once.
Then about 45 minutes into it (remember that this was my first tat) He asked if I was getting light headed. Told him no just keep going. But I did take about 3 breaks about 2 minutes apiece.....(breath breath breath....if these women can do it on their boobs I can do it on my arm....think macho think...gggrrrr... OWWWWW...breath breath breath....wince owwwww.....)
2 hours and 15 minutes later......I WAS light headed....
Drawing it with a ball point pen? My guy had this pattern done on a sticky transfer sheet he just taped on my arm and peeled of with the entire pattern outline on my arm.
Most folks like that endorphin rush adn it does get addictive to them.....did anyone see that show on Learning Channel on piercings and people who go for suspensions--hanging off large 11/0 fishing hooks impaled through the skin on their back and knees?

I just assume I can probably take it without a problem on my arm for the following two reasons:
1. Shots to the arm for the most part do not bother me.
2. Without getting into specifics I had to take injections on both underarms where then nerve endings are extremely sensitive: about 50 shots each. If I can take that, I figure a tattoo on the arm is a walk in the park.
