Have You Slept Like An Infantryman?
|This posting can pretty much encompass all combat arms and even some of the support branches. So how many have you slept in?
Top 7 Best Places for an Infantryman to Sleep
7. On a cot less than a foot away from the grunt next to you
6. On the floor of an Air Force terminal before deployment
5. The back of a cramped C-130 transport plane
4. The bottom of a foxhole
3. Inside a ridiculously-noisy helicopter
2. The tried-and-true Humvee
1. In the dirt (We Are Mighty)
You can read the whole thing at the link, but I have slept at each of these locations. Something the author left out was sleeping in a Bradley. Nothing worse than trying to sleep in a Bradley turret. Best place to sleep if it cold is on top of the Bradley engine after turning it off. My favorite place was simply on the ramp. Bradley drivers had the best place to sleep though in their location. By combat arms standards the driver’s compartment was like having your apartment in the field. Here is an actual picture of how my unit in Kuwait was sleeping before moving into Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom 1; not exactly the Hilton:
Anyone have some good military sleep locations they want to share?
I slept in a SAC Alert Facility, in-between klaxons…
In the nastiest, most inaccessible bit of terrain I could find for my team, time & time again, because the bad guys wouldn’t sleep there…
Airport, C-130, and on deck with my life jacket as a pillow.
Join the Navy, sleep in a bed.
Join the Army, sleep in a ditch…
That’s why we keep winning the Army-Navy game! (Which after 13 wins in a row should be renamed the Navy-Army Game!)
8. Overpriced love motel next to an overpriced hooker.
9. Back booth of a dive bar with a lap full of puke while your buddies party on.
10. police station
What can I say?
The Navy is just light years ahead when it comes to male on male contact.
Johnnyboy…

Remember, it’s Leon and some of the crusty old G.I.s that don’t like icky girls in their beloved service branch. They lack the necessary gear to satisfy.
That’s a convincing argument.
Can you confirm something for me in regards to submarine duty?
The way I heard it, 100 sailors go down…….
and the other 100 sailors really appreciate it and return the favor.
Maybe I didn’t tell that one right.
Just busting chops. Much respect for your service.
