We were in the field for three weeks and we were down to our last two days. Due to moochers and beggars I ran out of cigarettes earlier than I had planned. It was to the point I had turned into a moocher and beggar and was literally having nicotine withdraws bad. As I stood outside our trusted steed, the M113A3, I could smell the taste of nicotine from across the field. I yelled at one of our ace drivers to give me some smokes. He told me that if I got naked and ran to him he would give me a whole pack. I one upped him and maid a loin cloth out of some mine signs and bright ass orange tape, put on my boots and ran the 300 meters over to him to grab my prize. As I am running naked with mine signs covering my man parts I thought to myself, " this is so worth the smoke session that is about to happen"!! As I am about half way the whole company AA is laughing and hollering which grabs the attention of a certain someone wearing the diamond and our OC. I grab the pack of smokes and haul ass back to the 113 as I am freezing. I jump in put my BDUs back on, jump out and light a smoke. As I am basking in my glory and sharing my prize, 1SG and the OC come strolling up. I realize I am about to endure the worse possible pain ever. Instead, 1SG says he is speechless and the OC says that if he ever catches me without my miles gear on again he will kick me out of the Box!!! I said roger and went back to my victory smoke!!!!

Great story SFC (Join to see), thanks for sharing. Beats the story I was going to tell about the idiot who fell into the same foxhole 3 times in less than five minutes.

Was at FT Irwin. There is a snake there, the Green Mojave....very territorial, will chase you. Dude was running with his pants at his knees trying to tug them up to run faster since he was being chased by one. Apparently, he chose the wrong spot to perform his Class 1 download.

A Bradley crew was sleeping inside the vehicle when a longhorn inspected the Bradley and had his head stuck in the vehicle. Infantry guys screaming like girls.
