Was pulling dusk to dawn solo guard duty on my platoon’s ammo when a SoCal coyote got too close for comfort. I remember thinking it was going to be a bitch to explain this to higher HQ.

Was a young ST an enlisted Marine or O at the time of this alleged incident?

Hi friends. Liz has commented on the Chanakya Forum website that she wants to join it. I don’t see her here anywhere. So, how do I connect with her?

I will ask her next time I see her.
BTW: I lost your email before I had the chance to connect.
Do you want to try that exchange again through Judy, maybe?

I could imagine the conversation: “So, Lt, you were alone, guarding your platoon’s ammo when attacked by a lone coyote.”
Me: “Sir yes sir.”

Me: “My arms were too tired from fire fighting, sir.”
Him: “Say that again, Lt.”

Thing is I was taking the slack out of my trigger when Wylie decided to move along. It was surreal in the literal not figurative sense of the word.
My mind was already racing to my shame as I drew my 9mm.
