Why do we always have to do that sh*t at a million O'clock in the AM?

Mate, I once spent 6 hours waiting with 200 other blokes sitting in what looked like a large sheep shearing shed on a hot summer day waiting for the army to pull its finger out and shift us to where we were going.

Yes, I remember it all. Getting up too early to report in, so we could draw gear and load up...to move to the airhead and sit for several hours waiting...to fly for hours to somewhere. Then arrive in the middle of the night.

Gee, I thought I was the only one who remembered that. But a ride in either a C-130 or C-124 would lull me off to sleep immediately. Heavenly, even if you butt fell asleep across that stupid bar.

I could never get rest in transit...some guys would immediately go lay across the kit bags on the ramp. I'd just be uncomfortable...for hours.
