Default Re: Fighting USA as the Red Army

Haha! That's funny. I remember having to convoy to the field at Fort Hood when I was a private when I was in a combined arms mech battalion, I had to ride on one of the tanks in Delta company. After staying sick all day from all the bumping and jostling and breathing engine exhaust, we finally got to the bivouac site. They parked the tanks in a circle facing out, and I got my ruck from the bustle rack and jumped off to set up my sleeping bag. I looked around and the tankers were unloading their stuff on top of the tanks and stretching out. I hopped back up and asked the TC "Sergeant, you guys don't sleep on the ground?" He said "hell no, things live on the ground, like snakes and bugs and infantrymen."
