That was the longest hour of his life, I'll bet! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I hope you didn't wait too long to let him know it was almost 0700!

When I was in basic training, my "battle buddy" refused to get up with me and make a latrine run (we had to go everywhere in pairs - oh, the stupid games you're forced to play at basic!) - so I stepped out of the tent and peed on a tree, and crawled back in and went to sleep. We had roving guard duty the hour after that, and he said "hey man, lets run past the latrine" (well, porta-pottie) and I said "sorry buddy - you wouldn't help me out an hour ago!" and we walked a while, he said "screw it, I'm going to pee on this tree" and I said "don't do that man!! The drill sergeants are running around with NVG's watching us - I'm not going to get smoked because you had to pee!" (I was making this up, of course). Ten minutes later, he says "I can't hold it any more, man! I'm peeing my pants!" - my joke backfired because I had to sleep next to him in a 2 man shelter the rest of the night!
