If it's wrong, I've probably said it...
At least for me it is...

Phone rang at 0455 this morning. When you've been in the Army for a while, you know there are only two things a Soldier will get called for that early - an alert or urinalysis. And since I'm in a training unit, I knew it wasn't an alert. I picked up the phone already knowing what I was going to be told. Be at the company at 0630 either ready to pee in a cup or ready to drink water.

The problem, though, was that I got up for PT 15 minutes earlier and had already gone to the bathroom. So, on my way out the door to PT, I grabbed a few bottles of water and started studying for the test.

Now, those of you that read Peeing In A Cup already know how much trouble this sort of thing can be for me (the short version is I get stage fright peeing in front of people). But, I'm happy to say, I was a first time "Go" this morning and was out of there about 30 minutes after I arrived.

WOOHOO for me!

Congrats on the first time go Chip. I just find it hard to believe that you would have any inhibitions/stage fright after being in the Army this long, especially having served over in Korea (with Different Hanja and Grey no less). I KNOW that you had to have done things more "embarrassing" than a wizz quiz. That was my secret...just thinking to myself "I don't like him looking at me while I pee, but it's better than him seeing me when I fill in the blank."

I think the military is the only place around where Heterosexual adult males actually talk to each other while peeing! lol

And then, of course, there is the great wonders of the old WWII barracks with the "stall-less toilets". Nothing says "battle buddy" like talking to him while wiping your butt!! ;~D
