Why I am never cold.
People always see me bundled up far beyond what is required, and I always tell them the same thing. "I been cold, and I am never going back." When I get cold I remember our first night field training in MCT. I slept in a hole in the ground covered by a poncho, a lovely thing to own by the way, and I froze my ass off. I wanted someone to light me on fire. Which is ironic since only a few hours before I had watched a Sergeant light the brush on fire in front of me. It went up like you would not believe, and the Sgt says, "Get your e-tools!" To which I reply, "Fuck You Sergeant! Call the fire department!" And promptly run like a bitch. That dude had no idea what the fuck he was doing. So there I was on that strange and frosty night thinking, I will NEVER be cold again. I was of course cold again. Snow caves and more than a few nights in 29 that I choose not to remember, but not anymore! I bundle the hell up, and I stay nice and warm thinking about all those nights I couldn't!
