sun burn makes great combat mindset lesson

[Alex V]

sun block is your friend...

so is a tanning bed. lol I've been going tanning for about 5 years now, when I went to the caribbean a few weeks ago for vacation all i used was SPF4 or 6 tanning oil with no sunbun lol

Aspirin and Vitamin E MAY speed the healing of your sunburn. Aloe will help as well.
Feel better soon man.

I would have been fine, but we did some ground fighting on Fri. The 1st sunburn Ive ever had bleed.

Recovery procedures:

1. Leave Kin Blue Beach.

2. Proceed to Kinville outside the main gate of Camp Hansen, and locate Club Chivas.

3. Make acquaintance with the mamasan at same.

4. Order screwdrivers (actually paint thinner and Tang in a tiny glass).

5. Consume enough of same to cover table.

6. Avoiding the Ville Patrol and JP's, make way back to barracks. Stay on azimuth, and remember your pace count.

7. Do not, repeat, not pass out on helo pad on way back to barracks. ( Ask me how I know this... )

8. Also do not bang on the main hatch at the Joint Forces Brig on the way back to the barracks, and yell "Little pigs, little pigs, let me in!" (Don't ask me how I know this either.)

9. Threaten with ritual castration the first person to wake you from sleep.

(note: I have never swum out to the little island off Camp Schwab, nor have I ever done a backflip off a running amtrac at Kin Blue. )

Luckily, the pain is subsiding, starting to tickle a tad lol.. still hurts to the touch but i can actually lay in my bed and not be in pain..

and as for the deployment/beach thing, We're seabees.. and i go to the desert next march..

i'm glad i've re-learned this lesson now.. really i think we shotgunned TOO many bud lights... lol

I burn really easy, and just don't go shirtless in the sun anymore. Not worth it. Like an hour, and Ill be burned and peeling within a few days.





Also try some aloe vera cream. Helps with burns quite a bit.

I know it hurts man BTDT, but you know we can't help it, LMAO.

I know the feeling man! On a side note, my dad still laughs when he tells me from his time in Okinawa, when they would write crap with sunblock on some unsuspecting sleeping/passed out Marine on the beach. So look at the bright side, at least you don't have "TWAT" across your forehead!

If he goes to the banana show he will.

Did you get sick from it?

[l3mon]

not really sick..

just felt like stacked dog shit for 2 days..

its started getting splochy on my shoulders so i might have actually gotten sun poisoning..
