A tremendous amount of porn. 😳

I was a Cav Scout so we weren’t raw raw types. We aimed to sit quietly in the woods of Germany and almost certainly die if the balloon went up. We don’t call in - THATS where they at!

From what I’ve heard from sailors, it’s a monotonous repetitive daily grind. “Groundhog Day” they call it. You are in tight quarters and you often go through days and weeks of seeing exactly the same people at the same time every single day.

I’m just saying I can get they are pissed.
