This post brought back some, uh.....Thank you guys! This post brought back some, uh... fond memories. };)<br /><br />Jenna, the Army is not for the faint of heart, and to this day I wonder how I got through it. I spent many a cold, rainy weekend out in the field, shivering my ass off. Good thing I can look back on it now and laugh!<br /><br />Lisabet, it's okay to laugh. It's all in the past, and I even laugh about it now. I have to. It's one of those things where you either laugh or cry... As for doing it outdoors with the Hubster, we have done it once, but didn't get totally naked. We were on a hike. With his mother. Which honestly sucked all the fun out of it. Hubster has lousy timing about some things...<br /><br />Jude, I can appreciate the outdoors, so long as I don't have to experience it with the military. Now that summer break has hit, I'm trying to figure out how to spend more time outside with the kids. We're hitting the beach, gardening, and even planning bug hunts! We might even go camping, though nothing heavy duty. The girls just want to sleep in a tent. I can deal with that, so long as I've got clean underwear };)Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10832774182683343435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-47515119691289828872009-06-26T12:27:11.860-04:002009-06-26T12:27:11.860-04:00Hi Helen,

Put down the knife, I was joking. Honest!<br /><br />Okay, seriously, there are those who aren't wired for enjoying the great outdoors, and I have to admit clean undies is pretty high on my list of 'must haves' but rain, the dirt, the tent, the food, all that doesn't turn me off nearly as much as it would some. I could very possibly feel much different if I'd actually lived through what you did. Bunking with a guy who stank doesn't appeal to me, but then we go back to clean undies. LOL<br /><br />I really enjoyed your post, Helen. You've had some amazing experiences and it's got to have enriched your life a great deal, even if you disliked some of them. <br /><br />Thanks so much for the chuckle and the thought provoking. <br /><br />HugsJude Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14067166768734750026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-40088036717685608842009-06-26T09:10:01.831-04:002009-06-26T09:10:01.831-04:00Ouch!

Your stories would be hilarious except for the fact that I think of you as a dear friend and hate the thought that you had to endure this misery!<br /><br />But come on now, you and your angel hubby never did the deed out of doors?<br /><br />Thanks for a lively read!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-32244373543155079592009-06-26T07:41:27.974-04:002009-06-26T07:41:27.974-04:00"Field conditions depress sexuality."
O...<i>"Field conditions depress sexuality."</i><br /><br />OMG, Helen, it's a whole nother view of the great outdoors, and it's wonderful! Your description of the FTX reminds me why I never wanted to be in the army. Plus a couple dozen more reasons!<br /><br />Fabulous post!<br /><br />JennaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
