    I HAVE to put this story here. Was looking at the "Ok, I quit" thread and what they were talking about triggered this flashback. I MUST share. This is a true story...

    Was in Germany on REFORGER in 76. In a convoy going from 1 place to another. 6 vehicles. 1 "convoy follows" in front, then the platoon commanders jeep/trailer, then 3 duce and a halfs with trailers, and finally a maint truck/"convoy ahead" vehicle in the rear. I was driving the rear duce. We all had a driver and a gunner in the cab and the rest of the squad in the rear (and whatever equipment wouldnt fit in the trailer). We are tooling along just fine when the truck in front of me started weaving all over the road. Off on the shoulder, and then over into the oncoming lane and just weaving around like there was something that suddenly and seriously happened to the truck. But it didnt stop, just kept going weaving around like that for a good 2 mins. And then it straightened out and was fine. About 15 mins later we get to where we are going, so we all dismount. We all head to that middle duce to find out what was going on.

    Sp/4 Burton was driving and Sp/6 Jillson was shotgun. They were both soaked. The canvas roof was dripping wet. The inside of the cab was soaking wet. As Paul Harvey would say, "heres the rest of the story"...

    Burton had to pee. We are in a convoy. Cant stop. So someone comes up with the bright idea to pee in a helmet. Yeah, that didnt go well. In one side and out the other and up and all over the roof. So, THAT didnt work (and at this point the pee on the roof is raining down on them non-stop and until we got where we were going) so the go to "plan B". A coke bottle. So Burton has 1 hand on the wheel, and holding his dick in the other, and Jillson is holding the bottle. So, yeah, that didnt work so well. Burton is trying to look at his aim point, and weaving all over doing that and its going as well as you would expect. Piss all over the inside of the cab. I still literally roll on the floor when I bring up that mental picture of them 2. I wish I had my camera accessible.

    Im crying laughing right now in fact.

    True war stories...
