the TRUST ME day...

well today started out with me climbing a 125 foot antenna tower with no harness and everyone saying.. TRUST ME you'll be alright.. well of course i know how to climb.. but at 125 feet trust goes out the window and the oh shit im about to die mentality kicks in.. this is about when the antenna begins to collaps on its self.. i scream like a 5 yo girl and jump for the roof that was thankfully covered with folded up camo nets.. broke my fall.. only about 25 feet or so..

about 2 hours later... were breaking a wall down when a wire falls down in the wall.. i said uhh im not getting that.. sgt osorio says come on man grab it.. i say no...... im not putting my hand in there.. (here it comes) oh come on guti.. TRUST ME you'll be alright.. so i did.. and im reaching... and streaching.. and black out.. apparently we cut a 220 wire and i grabbed the ends.. woke up about a min later and didnt know where i was at.

4 hours after this.. im carrying a desk across a bridge.. the railing doesnt start till about 4 feet over the water.. im carrying the ass end.. with one of my soldiers on the front. i cant see anything.. desk in my face i ask hey am i walking straight onto the bridge.. yeaaaah he said TRUST ME .... 2 seconds later im completely engulfed in what we call the AIDS water.. i hop out and run to the showers with my eyes mouth and any other orfice on my body closed as best as it could be.. keep in mind im squeezing my booty cheeks closed as well while running.. very difficult if i do say so myself.. and yeah

This is the TRUST ME day

thought you guys might get a kick outa this one
