MyFoxChicago

I was born in Havana, Cuba and grew up on the north side of Chicago. When I first arrived in Chicago in 1971 at the age of 5, I lived in Edgewater. Then in 1974, I moved to Rogers Park. Back in the 70’s this was a great neighbor. However, in the late 80’s it turned into a very dangerous area. Hardcore drug dealers, gang members, and crack houses all over Damen Ave. I even witnessed a couple of drive by shooting, fortunately, no one was killed. Seems like hood rats can’t hit the broad side of a barn. The neighborhood is changing once again, hopefully for the better. However, there still is a lot of “ bad element “ around. A lot of them keep spreading false rumors about me, they keep telling people that I’m angry because I’m not a “doctor”, or that I’m crazy. Well, let me clear this up, I have never said that I wanted to be one. That’s actually is illegal in all 50 states; it’s covered by both criminal law and civil law. If a judge deems it to be a public place, criminal law applies, even if it is not a public place, civil law can still apply, meaning that someone could file a lawsuit over that. That’s actually absurd, it's like a woman being angry that she’s not a prostitute, it makes no sense. That shows just how ignorant these people are. As for being “crazy “, I have never been diagnosed with any type of mental illness. By the way, that is also perverted risky behavior. I hope that clears up the record, for those people that know how to read. A year after graduating from high school in 1985, I enlisted in the U.S. Army for the Montgomery G.I bill. Although I had benign brain tumor when I was 6 years old, I still wanted to enlist for the experience, training, and money to go to college. I found out that the Army has a policy of giving anyone that has had that type of surgery a PMR ( permanently medically rejected). One of the Army doctors told me that if I was serious about joining the Army, I could apply for a wavier, which I did. After receiving the waiver, I was called back for another medical evaluation; again I was given a PMR. However, when I went back to the recruiting office, they said that they were going to ship me out away. My MOS was telephone central office repair, and I needed to get a security clearance, because all telephone companies in the Army are secured areas. I received an A-1 security clearance, which is the highest one that the army gives out to recruits that are going into basic training. It just means no priors or affiliations, and nothing much has changed, I’m still not a criminal or mentally ill. Anyway, I found out why the Army has that policy of giving out PMR’s to anyone that has had a brain tumor, it’s damn tough! One of my drill sergeants told everyone in 1st. platoon that the Army does not pay out benefits, until you have been on active duty for a certain amount of time. He added, that if any of us felt that there was some reason why we shouldn’t be in basic training, we should leave. Because if anything happened before that 6 month period, the Army would not pay out any benefits at all. Therefore, I decided to leave. My days at Fort Dix, Delta 5-5 are long over, but now I am going through another hell. For some reason people here don’t like me, just about everywhere I go, I hear some people say, “no one like him” or “people don’t like him”. As a result, no one will here me. I can’t get a job anywhere. That has been going on for years now, as a result of that, I don’t even have that much work experience. I’m 41 years old and I have nothing to show for it. No credit cards, no bank accounts, and no car, not even a cell phone. Perhaps, I should have stayed in the Army.
