ok, its the spring of 95. Im in the air force. We have a week long training exercise in the hill of texas. Everybody was there. this shit was so serious that they called in the reserves and national guards to take our place while we were in the field. Somehow, some of the older black sgts started callin me pimp daddy because i had a cell phone. my girl at the time gave me her phone so we could keep in touch while i was gone. damn i was whipped.
On the first day, me and a few guys had a detail to go fill up a water cooler from a water buffalo that was literally, a mile away. we were hiking it. I swear, we were about 10 meters from camp and this goofy white muthafucka dropped that shit and we had to go ALLL THE WAY BACK AND DO IT AGAIN!!!
That first night, I was told to guard the tent while the sgts sleep. I was the only one. I was like, cool. I can just lay out here, in the middle of the woods, in texas, and go to sleep. they told us that we wasnt gonna get no sleep that week. i told myself " bulllllll shit." So i dug in, in a good spot, got my m16 and my blanks, and im laying on the ground, chillin.
Chillin. and thinkin. and realizing where im at. Texas. in the hills. the woods. spiders. bugs i cant name. SNAKES. and not no pussy ass garter snakes but bull snakes in texas. rattlers. cobras. anacondas. not to mention the animals that was probably out there.
Im from cleveland. I straight took my ass in that tent and curled up next to sgt. He woke up like "pimp daddy, what the fuck u doin in here? im like "I DONT KNOW SAR-GENT!!!!"
I got in trouble but not really. But it was worth it. fuck that shit.
