Donuts and Herpes
Another great one from Hank, at KDH. Please come by and read this great story in its entirety.
Images of male parts (I’ll try to keep this PG-13) ravaged by syphilis and gonorrhea are flashed on the screen at the base theater while our predeployment brief is under way for Exercise Cobra Gold. Our Battalion Surgeon warns our men and women of one of the most dangerous situations they are most assuredly going to experience in Thailand, “L I B E R T Y”. So on she briefs the basic facts. Yes, we recommend moral congruency, and the consequences from deviating from the trail are devastating, and no there is no 100% guarantee short of abstinence. As the XO of the Battalion I’ve been given free reign to interject myself at these events.
From the back of the theater I interrupt the presentation which is now stopped on a particularly gruesome image. I walk down to the front and address an audience which is packed to capacity. Our Battalion Sergeant Major is not present at the moment which implies free reign of my mischievous nature, a nature on which he sometimes attempts to encourage restraint.
