Back at Basic Training at Benning in the heat of the Georgia summer they had us clean all the MRE trash and cups from the outside latrines (wooden building over a big hole basically) at one of the ranges. About four of us had to go in with our M-16 protective mask and NBC gloves and fish out trash with a long pole with a fishing net on the end. The smell was horrible. As we fished out the trash from amongst the other non trash items floating in the uh, lets just say water, it was all covered in hundreds of maggots. One guy threw up in his mask and those things were a pain to clean.

SFC Calmes, all that nasty stuff you did and all you're concerned with is cleaning a mask? Throw it in that "other" trash that had the maggots. (-;

Guarding tank rounds in a GP medium at Mountain Home, ID in late January. The Yukon stove ran out of fuel at 4 a.m. I got walking pneumonia from that episode and am reminded each time I get bronchitis.

As a guy growing up in SW Idaho, I fully understand and remember cold winter nights. Great fun.
