I think I have had my realm of disbelief stretched four of five times in this one thread.

Best quote I ever heard was my friend Gray from Lower48. I was subbing for drummer for his band and we decided to get hammered after our show. We lived in the Bronx, northern NYC... There's a zoo there... So our drunk asses hopped the fence and ran around the zoo in the middle of the night. All of a sudden I look over and there's Gray pointing and laughing hysterically... "WHAT the hell is a polar bear doing in the BRONX?!" It seemed like a logical question at the time. But then I felt it was probably time to get his happy ass home for the night. Wierd how most of my heroism moments involve booze on someone's part...

while on a serving with 2nd MSOB we took IDF (indirect fire) at about two in the morning, I flew out of my sleeping bag wearing nothing but my skivvies, jumped into my sandals and grabbed my SAW at mach fething 5 (I was 1 of 2 support gunners for team 3). needless to say it was a hilarious sight me running around scared shitless with nothing but underwear, sandals, and a machine gun. we only took about three mortars before the insurgents broke off the attack, so not necessarily heroic, but no one died, and I rank it as hands down one of the most awesome moments of my life, despite getting an chewing for not wearing proper ppe.
