I've slept Everywhere


My latest trip to Bagram is complete. As with most things in the Army and military you have to hurry up and wait and waiting we have done. When I wait I always try to sneak in some Rack OPS (military speak for nap time). Over these last couple of years I have founds some interesting and odd places to sleep. As I got to thinking about what places I have slept a song popped into my head to the tune of "I've been Everywhere." It is one of those annoying songs that won't leave. Rather than fight it I decided to channel it. My list/poem contains both CONUS (military speak for the U.S.) and OCONUS (military speak for outside the U.S.) Think of the tune I've been everywhere and replace it with I've Slept everywhere:

Laying in chairs napping on hard floors what a bore I've slept everywhere.
Propped up feet, how sweet, I've slept everywhere.
Under big oak trees bring such glee, I've slept everywhere.
Soft grass is very nice for my...face (gotcha), I've slept everywhere.
C17s, on top of big boxes, with a Therma Rest is the best I've slept everywhere.
Food Courts aren't just for watching sports, I've slept everywhere.

I can't wait to get into real bed soon.
