Countless memories and great photos, such as the photo above from Clayton Bradford
“I was sleeping”.
On the tire of an f-18 main landing gear while using a 2000 lb bomb as a pillow. Got woken up before the jet started to taxi forward.
While deployed we were enjoying an absolutely beautiful night. Like a perfectly starry night. I decided to sleep atop of our ambulance “a deuce 1/2 I am old” and fall asleep under the stars. However, dead ass asleep the ambulance sped off not knowing I was on top. That shit hurt and all I could do was laugh my ass off on the ground in the dark lol.
I slept in a Porto Potty in Iraq.
Underneath a running humvee during the winter to stay warm.
The jungle in Malaysia in leach infested grounds. Middle of a monsoon to train with Malaysian Rangers & keep good connections with allied forces.
In the middle of the Pacific ocean on a panga we interdicted carrying 1100 keys of coke…
On the rear deck of my M-60 tank during a hurricane. Was too humid to sleep inside so we through the tarp up to make due. Was raining so hard, and we were so dirty that we wound up stripping down for the best shower we had in days. And the next day we spent hours getting several tanks out of the mud, ugh!
Nut to butt standing up waiting in line for medical in-process. The guy behind me that kept me from falling multiple times is the real hero.
Was a SAR Swimmer and combat photography certified. Got tasked with SEAL team 2, some Rangers from 75th, 3rd SF group, 2 Marine Recon and 2 AF guys to go to Andros Island to take pics of insert and extract points, points of interest and anything else “they” wanted pictures of…
Dug a hole and 5 of us grouped together to keep warm…
Tell you what, these guys will survive the apocalypse in style. You stay warm to survive. Nothing else matters.
(Andros Island is an archipelago within the Bahamas, the largest of the Bahamian Islands.)
If you ain’t caught a nap in an F-16 Fighting Falcon engine… you don’t know sleep, brother.
During a sandstorm on the Iraq/Kuwait border on the back slope of an up-armored humvee. I stuck my boot in the cargo net and used the ‘patriot jack’ (a steel triangle thingy used to get a humvee off the ground to change a tire in a hurry).
I was still dog tired and radioed it in… but didn’t stop.
