INSIDE YOUR HEAD — Sorry to wake you. I just wanted to remind you, don't forget your rifle before you go out on patrol. Wait, where is your rifle? Oh, right next to you. Whew.

Also, you remember that time at Basic when like, six drill sergeants were screaming at you, and everyone else was getting smoked because you didn't fill up your canteen? Better get up and check that they're topped off again, just in case.

So, I was just thinking about that board you've got coming up next week. Are you sure you're ready? There's a lot of material there; I hope you don't get blindsided with a technical question, or — God forbid — you flub one of the creeds you were supposed to memorize.
