2010-02-12 10:52 a.m. My squad is the most sarcastic soldiers I've ever worked with. Two of them snickering as we near the drop point. "Hey Paul... Paul... are you 'locked and loaded'?" More laughter. "Are you 'ready to do this'?" The lieutenant has been playing Guess-Which-Hand-the-Bullet-Is-In with the twins, and the more freckly one-- Aaron-- says "I understand that we should hit them hard. I get that. But fast as well? Hard AND fast? Both? Tall order, boss." Jeremy comes up with his map out of its canister. He's been drawing big question marks all over it, covering some of our objective points. "Hey, uh... while I'm appreciative that the responsibility for navigation has fallen to me, I just want to confirm something... we're, uh... not in Kansas anymore, right?" The whole plane cracks up and someone's loose grenade rolls down the aisle to the tail. |
