I hear that Guy! I am not "mad" at you. I was just giving my little 2 cents. I usually try come to PS and LEARN more than comment. I just felt that subject was one that could use a different voice. I am in no rush to get sick or have any of the other unfortunate circumstances happen to me... but if I get to visit Africa (on the Army's Dime) or my own I will find something positive out of the experience. I guess it's all old stuff to you at this point, you have 10 years on me and obviously many more deployments. One day (even if it's under unpleasant circumstances) I hope to see "the motherland". Guess I should stop chasing women in Miami and the Caribbean huh?

Tried to rip me off
Tried to help; SOBs were corrupt
Harrassed and called all sorts of names
Dysentery
Severe diarhhea
Hungry as hell
Humped a ruck until I almost passed out
Dehydration
Non-potable water
Bit by I don't know what type of insects
