Blown for Good - Marc Morgan Headley [20]
Also, because I was almost 16, I could stop going to school legally and would no longer have to worry about that.
I seriously considered doing this. No more school. No more housing issues and I would still make some cash. I would not have to do all the Sea Org stuff I hated and I could go off and be at Narconon Chilocco and help people get off drugs. Doing this would solve so many problems at once. The recruiters made it seem like the solution to all of the problems that I had. If I was getting paid minimum wage and having my expenses paid for, I could save up and get some good work experience. I had been “living on my own” for a few months at best. I decided that I would join. I was going to Chilocco!
Chapter Three – Work Hard
I had a day or two to pack up my stuff, sort out my paperwork and make arrangements I needed to make before starting the EPF. The Estates Project Force.
I had a few boxes of clothes and some records and a stereo system. I packed all that stuff up and Martha and Boris hauled it all over to the Association for Better Living and Education in Hollywood.
I was taken around to meet the staff. Everyone there seemed all happy, everyone was in suits and ties, there was one guy who said he went to Delphi Oregon and that I was doing the right thing.

The Estates Project Force is essentially one’s introduction into the Sea Organization. You learn the theory behind the Sea Org, the basic operational procedures, the do’s and don’ts and concurrent to that you do heavy manual labor. The stated idea behind the heavy manual labor part of it is that a Sea Org member is supposed to be able to do any task assigned, no matter how menial and despite the fact that normal people would never want to do it. If you make it through the program successfully, you become an official Sea Org member.
A girl named Veronika Kegel was my new buddy and she was the one I would report to until I finished the EPF. I signed the paperwork, including the billion year contract and she informed me that I was going back over to the Complex.
“Wait a minute! What do I need to go to the Complex for?” I asked.
“Well, that is where the EPF gets done,” Veronika explains to me.
“Wow, that really sucks, this place is nice, I should just do it here,” I said.
“That’s probably why it is NOT done here!” she happily replies as we headed off to the elevators.
Up until this time, I had always regarded the Complex as
