Neart the end we crawled through a drain runijg bellow a road that stank worse than Valek who hasnt had a shower for a few weeks and when we got back to battalion we took a walk through a lake on territory before runing (in my case limping because i ****ed up my left knee somewhat a few weeks ago) back to our barracs to get as much water out of our kit as possible in 2 minutes, then puting on flipflops and getting topless to do weapon maintenance, followed by getting our gear ready to dry and THEN a hot shower because our maintenance lis goes gun->gear->self.
Ohyah, im in the recon company, the one with the highest physical and mental demands. To smoke we have to do pushups, occasionaly in kit, so expect me to be ripped by the time im done.

God damn, thats
all so familiar.

We had to often stop what we were doing, usually wet, cold or exhausted, gather aroound in one knee, grin a big smile and whisper, "Its so pleasant in the woods".

Ofcourse we did it soon by ourselfs.

Watch that leg, you will need it more after the seven weeks is over.
Go Recon!
