Quoted: Makes the grass grow! View Quote Even as a 22 year old athlete at the height of my physical prowess I about died of exhaustion stabbing everything while running full speed down the bayonet course. I don't think I have ever been that exhausted before and I realized I was never going to be like Tom Cruise in the Last Samurai, the one dude who survives it all. I was going to be one of the 15,000 people he killed I'm so glad we live in the era of modern projectile weapons. Screw all that running and screaming and slashing stuff. Nope, no thanks |

Feet are still sore, but no longer to the point I am limping around. Also ordered some arch supporting compression socks to see if that helps out. |

Nope, no thanks That was actually one of my favorite parts. I was a LARP nerd back in high school, so that style of combat wasn’t unfamiliar to me. It was a little bit heavier than I was used to, but still a lot of fun. I was also good at pugils. |

Quoted: We did it every gunnery cycle, so every other year. It was horrible. Dudes would pop the hatch and throw up all over the side of the tank from heat sickness Remember drinking from your shitty canteen through that shitty little tube connected to your mask?

We did the house a couple times in Panama, but I never did it at Campbell. Other than that, the only time we wore our masks was during the riots when they deployed gas. Of course, no one got us the word they were deploying it from the helicopters, so we got a good dose, too, before we masked up. |
