My bad, sorry HC!

Bobby, I saw your response to the HC message and focused on that

Good stuff though...Keep the education going!

Higher Caliber:
if you told a grunt, we are moving out in 45 minutes, after our eyes get accustomed to the darkness, you would have literally 50% of your platoon asleep while the other half stood guard for the first 22.5 minutes and then they would swap.... I was once a wee private and had an old crotchety E8 tell me, if you are just standing around you should be sitting, if you are just sitting around you should be laying down, if you are laying down you just as well be sleeping... not sure what he was getting at really, but we were in a relatively docile training box... so I decided to take a nap while my battle kept an eye out... only to awake four minutes later getting my face ripped off because my battle had clocked out too... I should have known better...  I tried to relay the story the master sgt had relayed but he couldn't hear me because he was still screaming too loud...

Atkinsmatt:
That little saying means rest when you can because in combat, you don't know when you will get more.

Or more realistically, you'd have the experienced guys sleeping, some individuals would be smoking, the LTs would be messing around with some thing or another IOT appear important, some people would be standing around with their hands in their "air force gloves", and the NEW guys wouldn't know what to do..
