Week 1 continued...

I failed to mention a story that i had to write about! If you don't like gross stuff please navigate away from this page immediately...consider yourself warned!

We were on one of our conditioning runs one day last week and we went through the woods. it was a company run, around 300 people running in formation broken down by battalions. I'm in 2nd Battalion and we were running behind 3rd Battalion. As a squad leader i was running in the front row of 2nd Battalion and we were about 20 feet away from 3rd Battalion's stragglers. Anyway, we were making our way through the woods and i started to smell sewage! It was really gross, i couldn't tell if it was a skunk or maybe we were passing by some porter-potties we couldn't see through the woods. After about another quarter of a mile the horrible stench didn't go away! it was really gross! and when you're running hard you can't help but take deep breaths as you run! When running with alot of people you do get the occasional cloud of fart that you pass through but that usually goes away after a few seconds...but this stench stayed with us and the guys at my side were just as grossed out! Then i started scanning the guys in front of us and i noticed some brown stuff on one of these guys' legs! so i followed up his leg and sure enough this guy pooped his pants and was running like it was nothing! SO GROSS! ...and INHUMANE! I pointed it out to the other guys and we were all disgusted and finally one of our advisors got him pulled from the ranks and got him to the rear of the everybody else so we didn't have to smell him anymore! It was so gross. He is now called Mr. Poopy Pants.
