Yeah, born in 1971 and graduated HS in 1989 and was in between the nuclear war drills and the active shooter drills.
Of course we did see The Day After on live TV and caught the tail end of the cold war.
Someone born in 1980/1981, graduated in 1999 would have been 4 or 5 by the time the Reagan-Gorbachev summit happened and then would have only had a few months in HS after Columbine happened. So optimum sanity was probably the cohort born around 1976-1980 or so.

- lamontcg 4y ago> Soon after the shooting at Columbine High School in April 1999, schools began implementing active shooter drills. Soon, districts across the country followed suit. By the 2005-06 school year, 40 percent of public schools drilled students on lockdown procedures. Probably started almost immediately after you graduated.
