No luck

Ok well I wish I had a story to tell about my life but infact I am boring as hell. I do however have a story that was told to me from a soldier that deserves repeating. So here it goes..........

So no Sh#% there (we'll call him Tom to hide is true identity) "Tom" is, it's 0230 and he realizes that he has a message he's got to pass on to his XO (me). He knows that I just took the two new people down to Pad 3 to get them into their rooms and asleep. So he walks down the hill and starts searching around the first part of the pad. Now as he decides to go to the other part of the pad he starts walking in between to bathroom trailers. It's really dark out to begin with and it is even darker between the two trailers. Well as "Tom" is walking he all of s sudden falls almost face first, it seems his leg has fallen in a whole. Now he starts to feel it getting a little wet and thinks he may be bleeding because it didn't feel the greatest falling that way. He's all pissed off, jumps up as fast as he can and goes back to his room on pad 3. He gets to his room opens the door and in a fit of rage throws his bag down and half glimpses his wet leg, no big deal, he is still worried that there might be bleeding so he goes to the latrine to clean up, when he walks in there is someone standing there brushing their teeth and they take one look at him and of course ask the question "what the Fu#% happened to you?" Of course the reply is "don't ask" so at this point "Tom" takes a really good look at his leg and realizes that it's covered in brown, think, sticky (you guessed it) sh#$! Now "Tom" is even more angry realizeing that you just fell into a sewer hole can do that to you. The guy that is already in the latrine leaves in disgust and "Tom" grabs someone's shampoo and mouth wash that has been left there and starts to pour it into his boot in an attempt to save it and not have to throw it away. At the same time he turns on the shower and then throws the boot in the shower and lets the water run into it. He then in a small fet of rage jumps partially into the shower to wash off his leg. The instant the water hits his leg it burns the hell out of him and he jumps back out. So now here is "Tom" with the back of his leg scraped up badly, the front of his leg burned and he still has shit on over 90% of his leg.

The morale of this story is, if you were complaining about your day at work or anything of that nature realize it could be worse. You could be covered in sh@#.


Love you all, miss you all

This is sadly exactly what I needed to hear today. Work blows but I guess that’s what I get for working with teenagers. At least I just have to deal with the verbal type of shit and not the actual. Hope “tom” is okay.
