H 2/8 fast-roped so much on the Nassau we got sick of it but the only time it (really) went wrong was when this guy from C 1/8 let go of the rope too early--when he wound-up looking like a cockroach on its back down there on the flight deck we all busted-up laughing--because you have to--it's why you look and watch in the first place--so you don't miss anything; he wound-up being discharged altogether for his BMI--he had also done something weird to his boots that I recall contributed to injury--he had no insoles for some reason, so when he hit the deck too early and hard he was good and fucked-up and limping away--which did nothing to make our platoon sergeant feel sorry for him--our platoon sergeant in C 1/8 at the time was certified crazy and also a stickler for boot care--if you didn't put "Lanolin on your boots" like he did he thought something was wrong with you. SSgt. Lanolin was all up in whatever was missing in that dude's boots--he was up in everyone's business to begin with--letting go of a fast rope too soon was one example of how it would never end if you screwed-up around him--he'd be up your ass. Who knows if SSgt. Lanolin got that dude kicked-out--I knew nothing of agendas, harassment and hounding back then although I did know a little--I learned plenty about the system's failures from SSgt. Lanolin (what's weird, though, is when you don't find those people online because I've looked--who could forget the Big Chicken Dinners from Worcester, MA?).

If his name had been John "Wayne" Forbush there would have been a problem.

What sucks is when they tell you you're punching the guy's ear next to you (there were two girls from Bosnia when I was in college several years after this--they were sisters, both were hot so were hard to forget--one was the bad, naughty sister, but still hot, the other was the good, proper one, also hot--choosing between the two was impossible but if I had had any sense and could do it all over again I would have went with the "good one").
