Re: [OT]Question for combat veterans

Might be for some guys. During Desert Storm I think I got something like
6 
or so hours of sleep during the whole '100 hours'... that was the first 
night of the fighting after my division breached the Iraqi MLR... and I 
slept like a log after wards. I remember waking up and seeing my whole 
company sprawled basically where they could, a loader draped over his
M240 
sound asleep. I had no dreams personally- it was just so quick and 
exhausting. Maybe the guys who had more prolonged combat experience can
say.

I'll add this though, Rick Shelley is right about one thing- in Officer 
Cadet he mentioned guys eating and sleeping as much as they could before

going 'on contract'... very true! The 'Nam vets (my platoon sergeant was
on) 
encouraged us to eat and sleep as much as possible before the action 
started- both during the war and in peacetime FTXs. You just never know
when 
you'll see a hot meal and more than two hours at a time of sleep.
