don't ya love the good surprises

Too bad it wasn't a surprise. I had to go request it. The old thing I was on was REALLY old, probably older than me or at least half my age. They brought me a brand new one. Took it out of the wrapping right in front of me. It'* all nice and firm and stuff. Ahhhhhhh.

anything is better than sleep in the open

Maybe. I love it back in the States though when we do exercises and I'm sleeping in a bag under the stars using my coat as rain cover.

we slept either under or on top of our trucks in the field

I've done that too. Slept in the back a MANY 5-ton trucks.

You guys and your modern luxuries.....

Hey, just because you had to take over houses when you invaded Germany, doesn't mean you gotta be mad
