After you ‘hurry up and wait’, how do you pass the time?

SSG (Join to see) Roger that

I remember playing spades, a LOT of spades, that or lounging / sleeping on the folded up spare camouflage nets. had it pretty easy

Sleep. When not sleeping, mess with the people who are.

I was a Grunt Corpsman, so I mostly checked Marines that had complaints, then sleep.

Gear check....Sit-rep....SLEEP!!! In that order

True then, true now - cuddle my arm and rock myself to sleep - Capt Brandon Charters this is truly delightful.

Stand by

Sleep

Smoke-em if you got-em, hang loose, don't get lost, stand-by, take a breck, no pocket pool, wait for instructions, and keep your heads out of your Ying Yang!

I remember hurry up and wait on Okinawa in 63. We were sitting in the bed of a deuce and a half waiting to go to the ammo dump during the monsoon season. After several minutes we were soaking wet. I think it was done on purpose because some of our enlistments were up. We were rotating back to the states for discharge. After 4yrs that was our farewell present from the Marine Corp. Semper Fi.
