Tristan was stupid and his superiors were delinquent.

Tristan probably had a 1/2 day of KP or light duties.
We were out in the field for days; hot, sweaty, tired, hungry, just generally nasty. My knee hurt, I went back to the base to see the doctor. Just as I was there 2 other guys were being yelled at and berated by this 6’6" doctor, for being wimps. Oh my! Well I did have pulled ligaments so my knee was wrapped and I was sent to light duties, let me tell you I was back in the field the next day.

What’s so special about the Gemboks ? There are many Elk that roam the Hanford nuculear reservation all the time!There isn’t much there but sage brush, tumbleweeds, rattlesnakes and jack rabbits.
