You get 8 hours a night, plus a siesta after the all-you-can-eat lunch buffet, which you get everyday. They even get a guy to do omletes for each student while they're in the patrol base. No shit.

I don't know, I still had a few siestas, but they were the involuntary kind and I was still walking. :lol:

I know one thing though, they evidently owe me a lot of damn chow!

I still have the occasional nightmare of being awakened by the ringing sound of an RI's flashlight thumping my K-pot, followed by "Whatcha doin', Ranger?" :lol:

The most tickled I have ever been...is seeing a Ranger student with "Rubber-Neck". There necks would give out due to K-pot and miles...they would walk around with their heads flopping around...makes my heart warm

There was this guy that fell asleep in the PB and was rudely awakened by the RI waving his mag in his face. Big time no-go.
