Today's Correspondence from Iraq
By John
From my friend at FOB Warhorse:
well man, I made a mistake today and drank the mango koolaid that was given to me at a city council meeting, it was made with the water from the haji river...that can only mean one thing, I have to go and sh*t my guts out now.
Heh, somehow they always leave that part out in the recruiting pamphlets....

Don't eat or drink anything that doesn't come from the DFAC or is prepackaged. Treated to much of this. Had one fine soldier who waddled around my TMC for 2 days with no pants. I finally asked him to put on his pants and he told me in no uncertain terms that he would "as soon as he could stop sh*tting!" He somehow survived ;)
Good object lesson in why most soldiers used to die of disease.
Nasty.
LOL!! Army boys are so funny...
sounds like you've got the Army sense of humor there Ash...
It's funny, until you're the one running around with no pants.
;)
When my tank section stopped for lunch outside of Fullujah, some locals brought part of there lunch and milk out to us. Since I was the 'translator', I had to try to tell them politely thanks, but no thanks. Same when we were ever offered water. Its part of their politeness to guests, but you have to weigh that against being in the head for the rest of the day.

I found that chugging a half bottle of Pepto-Bismol usually put an effective cork back in it.
Ha...thanks for an idea what to put into the next round of my care packages going "over there" lol
LMAO, in a good way.
