Brother, it would probably be cheaper to just buy a "sippy cup." :lol:

I was drafted to get a stuck HMMV out of the shit marsh in Ramadi. My brand new Converse desert tacticals got nastier than anything I'd ever gotten on boots before in my life. Being a former medic, I figured I'd just fill a mop bucket with bleach to sterilize them.

Only one problem, turned my fucking boots a blaze hunting orange.....good thing a little truck driver chick down stairs picked me up some tan spray paint.....so I'd advise not using bleach...
