I enlisted in November all those years ago, knowing nothing of the South, thinking Benning in Georgia would be warm in winter. Froze like a popsicle.

hehehe

well I went down there with a doctor's note for sunblock (I am nearly 100% Irish and burn easily). I ended up with blisters all over my neck, lower arms and hands.

I didnt want to go on sickcall, but I couldnt move my hands very well. well the next morning we got smoked for doing something stupid (I dont remember exactly) and had to do more push ups. all the blisters broke and the skin gave way to big cracks on the back of my hands.

It was pretty gross....
