anyone got any funny stories about drunk runs? the drunk run that sticks out in my mind was right before we deployed for iraq. that entire week my platoon was downtown keeping the bars in business. Tuesday was the biggest thing going on that week because it was fat tuesday. girls were showing there tits, making out with other girls etc... real good time. well most of us didnt leave until around 4am. my drunk logic was i would sleep in my buddies room, who was also downtown with me, so that way i would have double the luck in waking up for pt the next morning (i.e. an hour and a half). 6:18 rolls around and we finally wake up. oh shit! we sprinted down to the ao to find out we are the first guys in the squad to show up, of course except our squad leader. by the time everyone decided to show up, he was pretty pissed. as punishment he took us on a nice long drunk run. the first two miles were probably 13 minutes, then he slowed down a bit after the entire squad fell out, leaving a trail of puke from the barracks to the airborne gas station. we ran another 5 miles and concluded the run with buddie carries up cardiac hill. quite possibly one of the worst experiences of my entire life.

Heh... can recall one formation during a JOTC rotation in which every swinging johnson from the 1st Sgt down was hung over. 1SG turned control over to the PSGs who then turned things over to SLs... My squad did a "right face", "forward march", "double time march", and the "guide on around to that nice & shady patch of trees over there" where we conducted patrol base activities...[ ]
Posted on another thread my method of dealing with a soldier who showed up sh*t-faced to a formation on Ft. Campbell.

| It's not a good PT run if you don't puke at least once.[]

thats funny as hell! the last zonk we had was again, the week before we deployed for iraq. we were supposed to have a five mile company run. we broke it off into three ranks getting ready to run when 1sgt wilson yelled, "zonk"!! we ran as fast as we could to our rooms.

LOL! I always loved those... way it worked for us was that the last fella to be in the AO pulled CQ runner. On one occasion, the 1st Sgt made the mistake of calling one while the Bn CSM was between us and the barracks... poor old fella got bowled over by the horde of EMs and was quite enraged.

We were in England being the OPFOR for the British SERE school. We were supposed to get our British jump wings but everyday it was too windy. So we would be let go at noon and in England every other building in Hereford is a pub. So the drinking started early and lasted late. In fact every day we were there PT was called off because the 1Sgt and company commander were as drunk as the rest of us. It was like Spring Break in England. It lasted for four days and by the end I was broke and sick from drinking so much.
The story went that their were many Ranger babies 9 months later as you could see many bodies getting busy in the city park. The church in town was getting a redo on the outside with the whole church tower covered in scaffolding. Well of course two Rangers decided to climb the tower as what else would the scaffolding be there for. They and many others were picked up by the security around Hereford as was I. When the security stopped me on the sidewalk, I was walking the wrong way and they asked if I need a ride. I said yes and opened the door and there was three other Rangers passed out in the back seat.
The final day, then Colonel Grange showed up to the party we had at the NCO club at the base in Hereford. It was pretty cool to see him there as he was pretty much everyone's hero.
