Guard Duty. . . again

The snow really hasn't let up, but that didn't really stop the necessity of guard duty.
In this case, we were guarding a CONNEX left by our predecessors which had some sensitive items in them. The army was even brilliant enough to advertise this fact by placing these CONNEXs right in front of a sign that stated "Sensitive Items". Hey, why don't you put some strobe lights up with a neon sign to advertise this fact as well? Then everyone can know that what is in those CONNEXs is EXTRA SPECIAL.

Hey, who ever said the army made any sense?
We got to make camp in a heated guardshack that had windows that opened up to view the CONNEXs in question, so we had our eye on them. That left us with eight hours of keeping ourselves occupied.

This turned out to be easy. We watched back to back episodes of Red VS Blue. Though we had to take breaks from time to time to get the heat going again, as we couldn't hear it to well over the heater and kept turning it off to get the full affects of the jokes.

Myself and the Sergeant I was with decided that these guys had to have had some military experience because they are some times brutally accurate. It only took us five hours to watch all fifty episodes.

Ah, who am I kidding? Just set me up for guard duty when ever you need me! Between reading my collection of Books I have on backorder and watching my collection of DVDs (or heck, I can just watch RvB all over again, for some reason it never gets old) and I can sit in a heated guard shack watching a bunch of CONNEXs any time you need me too!
