    Yeah the Military teaches you how to sleep through anything except for the words "INCOMING" then you pretty much learn how a dog digs a hole so fast!

    Dad told me, don't sleep near anything that flies or wears brass.

    my screamer still yells 2 years later first one was bad out of package but Pilot exchanged it no prob. and I haven't slept thru it yet. when I was with my mentor I set it once while he was driving he about stroked when it went off I hadn't used it before and didn't after until I was on my own. he promised to stop with plenty of time for me to get ready to go from then on. said he had to throw under wear away.

    Now want some fun in a truck? Or your life?


    Get young cat who has never been in a truck. Wife insists you take him for the heck of it.
    Set your wind up Big Ben double bell ringer on the hook on the back wall of your truck where it's been for years.
    Go to sleep.
    Cat moves in behind you and curls up against your back next to the wall.
    Big Ben goes off.
    Cat puts it in 4 claw drive and goes up your back across your side and heads towards windshield.
    You catch cat in mid air and get your arm shredded by cat that is still in 4 claw drive!
    Go home give cat that is in suitcase to wife and tell her no more ideas!


    Have a nice night!
    Rollover!

    For more reasons than one I could never be a trainer.
    But if I was to loose my mind and try it that stunt right there would get a newb
    a spot of real estate at the side of the road while the newb thumbed a ride to his next job.

    If ANYONE sets off another Screaming Meanie anywhere near me at any point in the future, it will meet a fate similar to the one my husband HAD!

    My husband set his to go off, and then went to bed, with me sleeping in the bunk next to him...

    When he got up to go to the bathroom, I was "sort of" awake. I had not heard the first two little alerts.. I was NOT aware that he set the #### thing! It went off while he was inside, and I had no clue how to turn the dang thing off!! After about 5 minutes of this going off at the "high" level, echoing through the cab of the truck, I through it out the window, into the main drive and celebrated as another driver ran it over, finally making it SHUT UP!
