Sergeant Major Mullinax

And he's like, hey, this is what you need to do. Go ask for a RIP contract. whatever you can tell them that you want to be a forward observer or a medic and a couple other. And then he said, whatever you do, do not let them sign you up to be an 11 Bravo. And I'm like, okay, got it. So I'll go down. I do everything he tells me to do. I come back. He's like, how'd it go?

Well, it turns out it doesn't matter what your job is because it's all going to be really tough. To be honest, I don't know how many forward observers you know from the SOF community or the Ranger Regiment, but I wasn't smart enough to do what those guys do. They're wicked smart.

I was introduced to Copenhagen. My buddy, my battle buddy from basic training was a dipper. By the way, we were allowed to dip back then. We were allowed to dip, but you're not allowed to do it in the harness, right? I don't know that I knew that. Anyways, that wasn't the problem. The problem was he was spitting in his canteen. And so we were sharing his canteen as a spitter.

And the instructor saw us doing that. And he was furious. And now I think about it, yeah, that's pretty freaking disgusting, right? Because those are canteens we get issued. We've got to give them back. Someone just did this in their canteen. Terrible, terrible, terrible decision, right? But we were held accountable. So instead of getting that weekend off, we collected up.

Um, all the, the entire class is canteen. So it's two, one, two, two, uh, one courts and, and, uh, one of the two courts. So I think it's like three canteens per guy, a hundred folks in the class or whatever it is have like these giant black trash bags of canteens. And we were, and we washed every that we spent the entire weekend washing those canteens.
