First time posting, unless i did a drunk one that i forgot about, if so please tell me so i can read it.So we're doing this training thing. We go to the field for only 3 days, back to the barracks for the weekend and then the rest of the month or a couple week or so, we'd be staying in our previously constructed holes in the field. On the first 3 days we were supposed to dig in and just sit there in the army laser tag stuff. ( It's only been a couple years but I've forgotten alottt of names and shit) it rained all weekend, so when we got back everyone's holes weren't great. But our Sgt said "jump in your holes and fix them up. I did what he said immediately. But I was a 240 gunner so my hole was deep. (No assistant gunner, no idea why they thought my pv2 ass knew what I was doing without one) my Sgt walks over to me and just stares at me while I stand in knee deep water and use my 2quart to try and get the water out of my hole. This is where dumb becomes an advantage. If you're dumb but likeable you get away with alot more. My Sgt goes "Darby, did you bring a spare pair of boots and pants."
"I did not sgt" "What did you expect to happen after getting out of the water?" "I figured they'd just dry out sgt" He then looks up at the very very gray sky and then looks back at me. I should've been smoked right there but I was dumb and likeable so he gave me a pair of his pants to borrow, told me to make a diaper and pants out of trash bags to insulate me, and told me to sleep with another dude in his sleeping bag. I don't remember if I did the last one but I probably did. I'm sure I'm missing shit that I'll remember if this gets posted. I still pretend to be dumber than I am and just try to be nice to everyone, that combination works wonders believe me. You'll almost never get in trouble. Almost. Also sometimes it's not an act. Id say like 60 40 maybe.
