On day 7 of a field training excercise. It sucks and I love every moment of it! ( except the lack of sleep and no bed haha)
Embrace the suck! :banana: :banana:
Should be back to killing red guys by Friday hopefully :D

u didn't shower for 7 days?
-
If you have your phone in the field, you're not really in the field. Baby wipes, baby wipes, baby wipes.

I try not to go more than a week without showering. But that's more of a guideline then a rule.

Does vicarious enjoyment count?

Sometimes, in some lines of work, you just don't have the option.

For reals. But I was talking in general.

Wheels up at 2100, wheels down 2200, approach March for 10 hours, Company receives contact by 40+ OPFor...proceed to dig in and send out R&S patrols....10 days later....we got a "change of mission" to move 18k cross country at night to hit an objective that held up an entire Australian Army Infantry Battalion.....that was the first 11 days of 28 in the field...no showers, no phones, MREs and your shelter was the grave you built behind your defensive position.
Infantry vs all other jobs....Cats and Dogs. In before the POGs show up saying they are "pretty much Infantry"

Is this a conventional war scenario or an asymmetrical war scenario?

If I got more than 18 hours without a hot shower even duct tape won't stop my b****ing and moaning... When we lost hot water on the Green Bay in port I literally walked 45 minutes each way to go kick some kids out of their hotel room and steal their showers every day.

more conventional training these days but the military learned a lot from the war. Seems like it's moving to a bit of a cross breed which should make it even more lethal.
-
Good, I am glad to hear that.

You're not exactly infantry material are you... ;)

No showers isn't that bad. It does suck but when you have other priorities it really does not come to mind. In those situations you are glad to get any sleep, water food etc. The sleep sucks pretty bad too. Getting past no sleep is the toughest for the 20 hour-40 hr mark. Your body really wants some after the first 20 something hours sleepless. Once you get past the second day you kind of settle into a cycle of crashing and being full on alert. The trick is managing the crashing part so you don't screw up when it can kill someone you were not intending to kill, like yourself and team members. After the first couple days you do really have to pay attention to the decisions you and those around you are making too. Your brain skips the whole, is this really a good idea after all part of the equation. Your judgement and coordination gets on par with a drunk after a while. The same goes for many days with sub hour per day sleep. After a couple weeks of that, it takes a lot of self disciple to stay on mission.

Heck no! I need my climate controlled cockpit, my mandatory 8 hours of sleep, and a hot shower at the end of the day!
