I only have about 3,
1. Sgt. Leo R. Tucker USMC (my Dad)
2. Brigadir General Benedict Arnold
3. General George Patton
About me: So you found me..... So I guess I should tell you something about myself. My name’s Richard Tucker. Known as Corporal Tucker, Rick, Sergeant Tucker (in my reenacting unit), General Benedict Arnold, along with a number of other names. The only one I hate is Dick.... I can’t bloody stand that.
Anyway, back to the subject at hand. I’m 21, from VT. It’s a tad boring at times, but after spending time in Jacksonville, NC along with several cities in FL, yeah, I’m much happier here. I’m a living history reenactor, which you may have figured out by the fact that it said “In my reenacting unit.” I’m a member of Captain Issac Craig’s Continental Marines. We portray Marines from the American Revolution focusing on their service on land durring 1777, however recently I’ve been focusing more on my latest portayal; Brigadir General Benedict Arnold. Now I know some of you are probably going, “Why does he want to portray America’s first traitor?” Well I’ll tell you. Arnold was perhaps our best commander durring the American Revolution. I live and reenact in an area where Arnold was a very important person, so I thought it very wrong that no one portrayed him, so here I am. I’m actually very happy to be doing this.
I suppose I should give you a history of me.... the very abreviated version. I was born in Alice-Peck-Day hospital at 8am on May 18th. Shortly after being born I was taken to Dartmouth-Hitchcock where I spent the next 6 months of my life. I went through 3 different surgeries before I was finally allowed to go home. I wasn’t expected to live... I did... and out of all the people who have followed after me with that surgery I’m doing the best. Anyway, my life has never been a rosey one. When I was 3 about to be 4 my parents divorced. My mom started dating this guy who used to beat on her all the time. It was Christmas Eve, when I was five.. this guy pushed me out of the way and mom went to defend me and he beat her... he beat her nearly to death with a flat iron. All I could do was hide in the corner and cry..... Mom’s fine now and doesn’t even remember!
And then of course there was school, and that’s when the real torture started. It was bad enough to have seen that at 5 years old. My innocence was lost that night, and ontop of that I had all the kids at school picking on me. I hated it. I was definately the class runt. That lasted all the way through school, until my junior year. When I gradutated 6th grade and prepared to go to Woodstock Union High School, all my friends backstabbed me. They all found new cliques and stared ignoring me completely. So I locked myself up... I didn’t talk to anyone, except teachers and then Columbine happend and even less people started talking to me. So I locked up even more. I hated the world, I started my first story then too. Using the names of people in school who made me miserable.... needless to say it was frowned upon by the administration, however they didn’t do anything to me about it.
So finally I got pryed out of my social isolation by the best group of people ever... the Yoh Theatre Players.
I started doing theatre in 8th grade, but there was no big impact. It wasn’t until freshman year that the wall started to come down. It started at the winter semi-formal dance called the “Winter Ball” when one of the girls from the play I was in (Arsenic and Old Lace), brought me over into her “group” and invited me to dance. It was awesome. Then the group moved and I got seperated and she came and found me again. She was a senior too to top the whole thing off.
After that the wall started coming down quicker and quicker. I made friends, with many of the kids in the Theatre group. Because I didn’t have a car/permit, and had no interest in getting one, we didn’t hang out much outside of school. In 10th grade I met my english teacher, Ms. DeBourginion (Ms. DeB for short), and her, along with the help of several of the theatre kids, finished bringing down the wall. We still didn’t hang out much after school or anything, except for the occational walk to Woodstock Farmer’s Market or The White Cottage for ice cream.
Junior Year changed everything. I was still testing the waters of the high school social scene, and I was invited to go see “The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers” with a large group of theatre kids, but it was the person who invited me that interested me most..... Katherine Miller. It was then when I started to like her... unfortunately I hadn’t had 7th and 8th grade to break into the dating scene like most teens do. This was something completely new for me. I started to pay more and more attention to her and then she started going out with someone else. It was then that the trouble started. Fully trusting of those old romances where the persistant man wins the girl, I went at it with what I thought was a fool proof plan. Unfortunately it wasn’t as fool proof as I thought. I ended up going from testing the waters of the social drama of high school to being in over my head. The largest social turmoil to happen in that school in a long time, became known as the “Katherine/Aragorn War”. The only thing to come out of it was the break-up of Kate and her boyfriend at the time. However by August of 2003 I got over that and life became good.
Senior year: Life was good. I had friends, I had been accepted into a “clique”, and had gained some popularity, however I had my 10% who still wanted to be losers, however with my newly gained popularity and growing happiness, my temper got longer too. In December my Grandmother died.. the night before perhaps the largest performance of my theatrical career: Annie. I was devistaed, however I continued on and did an awesome job as President Franklin D Roosevelt. It was one of the best performances of the Yoh Players.
It was also around then that I got my first Girlfriend, Tess. We were so happy, and everything seemed to be so perfect, however the only thing in our way was that I didn’t drive and her step-mother hated me. After Graduation we began to become distanced, and when I went off to boot camp on November 14th, it was pretty much all over.
Well again, on November 14th, 2004 I left for Parris Island, South Carolina. The Marine Corps Recruit Depot. I arrived early in the morning of the 15th, and that turned out to be just the start of it. I was put into Plantoon 1010, 1st Battalion, Delta Company. I loved it.. well as much as one can love recruit training. I made it up to training day 41, but after I failed the rifle range I was dropped to 3rd Battalion, Mike company platoon 3017. I lasted 6 days before I ended up being dropped for Bi-lateral Pneumonia. Appearently my SPO2 (blood oxygen level) was so low I should have been dead! I was promptly dropped to EHP, (Evaluation Holding Platoon). I spent two and a half months there. Durring that time I completely turned the platoon around. It went from being the crappiest platoon in the Battalion to one of the best. Finally I was dropped back into training, 2nd battalion, Golf Company, platoon 2034. I hated it. It was the worst platoon I’d ever been in and I couldn’t do anything about it. I ended up graduating from there, as a Private First Class. (Time in service). I graduated Friday, May 13th, 2005... almost 6 months to the DAY that I arrived.
I returned home, and welcomed back into the Theatre group with open arms. I also got to see the one young woman who had been my guiding light since the Katherine/Aragorn war... Samantha L. Avant, a person I will always think of as my adopted sister. Without her I don’t know where I’d be today.
After 22 days of Combat Training, where I proved that the book doesn’t teach you much of anything, and 7 weeks of Basic Electrian school, I returned home to my reserve unit, Marine Wing Support Squadren 472, Detatchment B. I also started school at Greenfield Community College, where I’ve struggled at first but now am doing pretty well, with final grades this past semester of 4 A’s, 1 B, and 1 F... I know the F isn’t great but .. well that’s a long story.
After 2.5 years at GCC I finally transferred to Keene State College, and am majoring in History with a concentration in U.S. History and Education. I'm still minoring in Music, so all my time at GCC wasn't wasted. I'm down to 2 years left in the Marines, and I may consider re-enlisting for another 2, depends on how things are. Yes things seemed to have been going well, until the night of Tuesday September 16th, 2008, when my stepfather Scott McDonald passed away. That threw my life into a complete upheaval. It was like I took a 17 year step backwards. Now I have to watch over my mom and my sister. The good news, if there really is any out of this, is that Gretchen and my Sister Amanda have really bonded, which makes me happy.
So for now I'm just going through the rest of the semester without any more hiccups.
