I was running a basic training group, and teaching the newbies basic infantry tactics. We came to a large clearing and I pulled the privates around me and went over sprint and drop coverage.

So I drop back to watch and the first guy goes sprinting out hell bent for leather, and disapears. 2 seconds later you hear him cursing and his head and shoulders slowly pull into view. He stands up and begins running like a madman and vanishes again. This happens a few more times, and I call a halt to the excercise, I walk over to him, and almost tossed my cookies, the stench was almost like a living thing..

A cadet training group had camped out in the clearingm the night before and had forgotten to fill in the latrine holes when they left.

Late on that night we had to do a camp assault and it was a little foggy, ok a lot foggy. I decided to send a couple of privates in from one side and they were suppossed to make as much noise as possible, while the rest of us crept up on the other side.

So we're laying in the weeds waiting for the distraction to start.

Suddenly we hear the sounds of running footsteps and a pair of amazing war cries as they sprint at full speed for the camp. Then we hear this heart stopping crunch. I sprinted over to see what happened, and saw them both lying on the ground by a truck. They had run full speed into a radio van. One of them had knocked himself senseless, the other one was crawling away. After that they became our wrongway recon element.

Um Captn....that first part I bolded...musta hurt like hell eh?
