Unexpected advantage of Hammocks - from First Hang

Thanks for the replies - great reads all!

Re: Ranger School - it would have awesome to have a great dog looking out for the RIs at patrol bases - I remember in particular, like jayf124 seeing boots straddling my rifle and being told to "wake up Ranger" - to which I protested that I was NOT asleep - only to notice that the sob instructor had turned my cap around backwards on my head. A guard dog would have been great, but a hammock would have been useless since we did not sleep (except on security) for what seemed like weeks at a time.

Here's me 2nd row from the top 5th from the left. Lost 49 pounds in 3 months. 600+ started - that's all that made it. Voluntary human misery at its absolute finest.

God speed to those guys in that course and all serving in harms way right now.
