I've also slept really well in the back of an HH-60G both in flight on cross country flights, and sitting alert in the middle of bumfuck, Iraq.

One time I slept in the trunk of a humvee. It wasn't very restful.

Slept hard in the satellite truck shelters, since they have industrial AC units to regulate equipment and the white noise from the equipment fans drowned out any haters.

I remember moving the pouches for my 40mm grenades higher up on my chest so I could rest my chin on them easier while sleeping on Chinook rides to objectives.

There were shelters for receiving hf morse burst comms which were not only air conditioned, but sound deadened. That was some comfortable napping. Weirdest place I was able to fall asleep; hood of a 2 1/2 ton leaned up against the windshield.

I used to work in a data center and one of our environments could only be accessed from a terminal located in a remote corner at the end of a hot aisle. The sound of the equipment and the nearby chiller combined with the gentle warm breeze was guaranteed to knock you out, especially if you were there after lunch.

EBB posted:Shotgun of a humvee on a freezing night with the heater on blast and running completely blacked out. Pretty much wedged in there because body armor, web gear, goretex, rifle, and all the radio/computer poo poo next to me. That's about the closest I've gotten to re-experiencing the womb. Tc spot in a Humvee while geared up is amazing. There’s nowhere to move, you can just slide the hand mic in your helmet and doze off.

RE: Brexit On Referendum Day, My wife and I went and cast our vote and then had to listen to a white South African immigrant shout in the loudest terms how he voted Leave because he knew first hand how bad immigration was for a "proper white country". At that point, I knew we were hosed. Obvs, we both voted Remain because we're not blinkered fuckheads.

I remember racking out once after driving a MRC-138 out into the woods for a couple hours. Laying down on the center in between the seats with the drivetrain still warm from the drive underneath you, propped up by the PRC-119 on my back. Body armor meant it didn't dig into your back too bad, and helmet was just right to rest against the radio to keep your head propped up. Stick a handset into each side of your helmet with squelch off. White noise, a warm bed, and a nice reclined angle.

IBA with the collar on and the old Kevlars combined together perfectly that you could just told your head back and have it resting in the collar, but your head still looked upright. Combine with sunglasses, and stealth sitting naps, yeah!

So what ever happened to Two Scoops being interviewed by Mueller? Last thing I remember is they gave him the OK to provide written answers. Any chance they've got the dumb fucker in written, black-and-white, "Here is how and when the president lied under oath in his own written report, here's the proof that even you can't deny"? Looking forward to Republican Senators denying it if that happens.

My little brother really wanted to serve, but developed type 1 diabetes at 4 years old. Probably would have enjoyed it. My older brother and I both did four years active in the army while the little one was young and impressionable. He's better off not having served in the military, but he still has attachments to the idea and the chud poo poo that revolves around it. Gonna kick him in the shin if I ever see him cosplaying operator.

The doggos in your av are great  I'm kinda puzzled by the despair a lot of posters itt have over the Muller memo. I think there's no magic bullet to get rid of Trump, you will have to do things the old fashioned way and beat him at the ballot box. I also think 95% of the around 40% of your people who always tell your pollsters that they approve of him would never abandon him for anything that could be in the report. Most definitely not for obstruction of justice in an investigation that they saw as illegal all along. Nothing much changed, but the upside is that he's still stuck at around 40 % approval rating. He is beatable if Democrats nominate a halfway competent and likeable candidate.
