Description
My brother was in the National Guard and swears this is a true story about one of their week long training sessions. His version was much more colorful and elaborate. The names have been changed to protect the innocent - and because I can't remember the real ones.
Abe and four of his friends shared a tent in a camp set up for their yearly week-long National Guard training. They started at sun up and went late into the evenings so sleep was essential. Unfortunately Ed snored like a buzz saw on steroids. They tried waking him up, turning him over, moving themselves to the other end of the tent, but nothing worked. He snored through it all.
By the second night, they were getting desperate.
"I can't take this much longer," Darren said.
"We've got to do something and soon if we're ever going to get any sleep," came from Bob.
"Enough! Let's haul his sorry carcass out of here," Abe exclaimed.
So the four of them each grabbed a corner of Ed's cot and tromped out of the tent and into the woods. When they had gone about 500 yards, they sat the cot down and stumbled their way in the dark back to the tent and fell peacefully to sleep.
About 5:30 the next morning they heard a blood curdling scream then a string of curse words that would have made a sailor blush.
"Why is he screaming like a girl?" Bob asked.
Charlie grinned and never even opened his eyes as he replied, "I covered him with cedar branches after you left."

Thanx for sharing T very cool !!
I can sort of relate. But I'm the one who snores, so I always sleep well.
Cool one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great scene and composition !
Can't wait for the conclusion!
My brother snored a lot! A fantastic composition!
Great job doing this piece related to him.
nice story
That must have been a fun time.... well at lease for the others...
This is going to be a good one. On to part 2. I am already remembering similar outings with the band and a drummer like Ed
Wonderfully done!!!!!
I never was at the army. But it looks like things that I heard about
Funny story, I would have done the same thing. only it would have been me outside covered with branches. Well done
Cool scene!
I've had sleepless nights like that. Though I could never put my spouse out in the woods like that. She wouldn't waste her time with cursing and would move straight to man slaughter.
Interesting...on to part 2
very cool scene...amazing situation !!!
I'm glad I never had to put up with this sort of thing! :)
Must find out now what caused Ed to scream like a girl!
