Wasn’t uncommon for soldiers during morning PT to be in the worst place possible when the fiercest of urges relentlessly comes knocking.

They could be easily identified by the tell-tale sign, one of their socks would be missing.

In Chicago, I spend $4.50 roundtrip to work each day for bus fare. With about 21 work days per month, that’s roughly $95. Prices for groceries are considerably marked up for our neighborhood, so it’s cheaper to have them delivered by Amazon Fresh. For everything else, we use CTA/Lyft.
