I grew up in the Pac Ranch cadet org, was raised to be a future Sea Org member for the Church of Scientology, except I couldn’t quite follow the rules.

@BobbyZexter @Scientology_411 @MailOnline Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Tony has been so great with mentioning my book. My brother has a different name - he is under a pseudonym for the book. I do love that I happened to pick a name
similar to your friend!

@BobbyZexter @Scientology_411 @MailOnline I didn’t know him well growing up as I was sent away to the cadet boarding school but you can see my impressions of him in my book. It’ll be interesting to see how they compare. Unfortunately my parents disconnected from me seven years ago so not really sure how he is.

@Mafiatology As an adult looking back, I find it strange that when I was 15 and blew, & both times, I was brought back to PAC Base, the Scientology Sea Org, and my best friend Mirriam had an instance as well. Why was there no investigating done on the young teenagers running away from there?

@Msjaneoly Thank you! 🙏

I meant to post this over the holidays and I forgot! Here’s a Xmas card from the PAC Ranch cadet org in 1998. Just a bunch of kids dedicating their lives to the Sea Org. I’m in the far right corner. #thebadcadet #theseaorg #thepacranch #scientology #billionyearcontract

So sorry to hear of Mark’s passing. Mark and I had a long conversation just a couple months ago and he told me all about the old days and what is was like for him as a parent in the Sea Org. He was so supportive of me and my book and even sent me docs about the cadet org. RIP.

Today we celebrate the life of Mark Plummer, a tireless peaceful warrior who gave freely of his time and shared his resources and knowledge so generously. He was a talented musician, a brilliant archivist, and a dear friend.
RIP, Mark, you will be missed. https://t.co/EKmpgDXUJ2

It’s been awhile since I posted one of these Cadet newsletter pages. I’ve blurred names for privacy though I my brother’s last name is on it. Those of you who’ve read my book will remember the chapter called The Apple Tree Project.

Also, I was assigned to do this for two weeks but I cut the chapter from my book.

[Katherine Spallino @BadCadet]

This newsletter talks about how “enthusiastic” we were to get the trees which is hilarious. We were not happy. Pissed is more accurate. Another fun fact on this page, cadets would be sent on 2 week rotations to work at organizations a Tech Pages which meant they had no school.
