I may disagree with your views on the world but well done! I think.

Absolute nutter!

I think that is a long winded way to say I have signed up again

Nutter!

Good luck.

INT. SAIGON HOTEL - DAY

The CAMERA MOVES slowly across the room...and we SEE
WILLARD, a young army captain. He looks out the window to
the busy Saigon street.

WILLARD (V.O.) *
Saigon...tulip. I'm only in Saigon.
Every time, I think I'm gonna wake
up back in the jungle.

He moves back to the bed, lies down. He's unshaven,
exhausted, probably drunk. We SEE alcohol bottles, photos,
documents scattered on the table.

WILLARD (V.O.)
When I was home after my first
tour, it was worse. I'd wake up
and there'd be nothing. I hardly
said a word to my wife until I
said yes to a divorce. When I was
here, I wanted to be there. When
I was there...all I could think of
was getting back into the jungle.
I'm here a week now. Waiting for
a mission. Getting softer. Every
minute I stay in this room, I get
weaker. And every minute Charlie
squats in the bush...he gets
stronger. Each time I looked
around...the walls moved in a little
tighter.

He's up now, naked, going into a frenzy, drinking, doing
some sort of martial arts, eventually collapsing onto the
floor.

INT. SAIGON HOTEL - STAIRWAY - DAY

Two extremely sharp army men walk up the stairs to Willard's
room, a SERGEANT and a PRIVATE.

WILLARD (V.O.)
Everyone gets everything he wants.
I wanted a mission. And for my
sins, they gave me one. Brought
it up to me like room service.

They knock on the door. A second knock.

SERGEANT
Captain Willard, are you in there?

WILLARD
Yeah I'm coming.

The army men wait for him.

WILLARD (V.O.)
It was a real choice mission. And
when it was over, I'd never want
another.

It was incredibly fun looking back, I would love to do it again and would recommend anyone ( especially young ) to do it.

Anyway, here is a funny picture of what they drew out of just one blister on the 3rd day.

Crikey, I had no idea minestrone, or "minnie" as I suppose we should now call her, is a girl

Someone told me that was all a marketing ploy by the race organisers. I cant see it, he lost 30% of his weight and they really don't know how he lived. People still get lost even today, one person in my tent did and got eliminated when he turned up.

Always up for a bit of piss drinking though, survival situation or not.

Now I know why he does it - its just for the urine and bat's blood.

Without people like MInestrone, we would still be stuck in caves.

I don't think people who lived in caves would test themselves to the limit for fun, they had enough to worry about
