it was a couple summers ago, and my friend and I were trying to stay up for 4 days and nights. Mostly we just watched movies and played video games

72 Hours. I went for a 12 mile hike (forced march), Dug Fox holes, placed concertina wire, and layed mines. Then we did patrols. Filled in our fox holes, collected the concertina wire and mines, placed them on trucks (on which we finally got to ride in too, and catch a few hours of sleep before we continued the insanity. Anyone wanna play Army? :disagree: lol.

11B1P Airborne infantry HUA!!!

I was assigned to the 1/509th airborne infantry OPFOR in Ft. Polk, LA

In the National guard I was with the mortors 1/221 assigned to 11th ACR, Ft. Irwin CA..... OPFOR! I spent 8 years playing Lazer Tag. lol. Not that I had any choice in the matter. I joined to kill rag heads in the first gulf war. Got out of the guard right before the second one started. I guess God has other purposes for me. :D

Wouldn't it be funny if we were both kept up during the same JRTC rotation? lol

My best is around 30 Hours. I woke up at 6AM and then with some friends drove from Reno To Colorado Springs, Colorado. We left here at 3PM and got there at 9 AM. THEN we went out and looked around and did stuff before going to bed that night.

Yep. In Fallon. There's scouts out there too.

It was armor when I started and it switched to Cav half way through. I think it switched because a real Cav unit has Artillary attached to it. 1/221 only has heavy (120mm) mortars.

I see you wheel a Dodge. What's the specs? We should get out there some time. It's nice to be able to talk Army to someone who's been there too.

Sounds like Victory Forge at Basic. 7 days of that, lucky to get 2 hrs of sleep, between defending the gate(fun playing with the SAW), artillery "attacks," and gas attacks. CS gas sucks the big one.

I'm in the 126th Medevac unit out of Stead.
