We probably got there midnight and got in our barracks probably 4:00 in the morning or whatever to get a couple hours of sleep, and I remember turning over and a tear comes out of my eye and down my nose.
J
9:14James FlemingGUEST
And I s- [laughs] I said to myself, "Damn, only 364 more of these to go [laughs] before I get out." You know, I already, already knew I didn't like it there.
