I’d walked in the woods at night before. To call this night, though, wouldn’t be accurate. Complete cloud cover means no ambient light. I can’t make out where the tops of the trees meet the sky, let alone what is a meter in front of me. The only light I had was emanating from the glow in the dark lines on my compass, and so that was where I would focus. Head down, weapon in a death grip and my compass tucked and ...

I'm sitting in the back of an up-armored open bed truck looking up at the stars.

Two died in the drop, apparent chute malfunctions, two got killed the second they hit the ground in the city. I somehow was able to hide in a house for a few minutes undetected. ...

So then, procrastination. I really don't know what all the fuss is about it. I am usually at my most productive when I have other, more important things, to be doing. My best rounds of PR were played while procrastinating. When I revived my whole squad with an enemy medic kit, previous owner still dripping from my KABAR, my roomate was choking on a ping pong ball just here on the floor to my left.
