William F. Sine Quote: “We continued with the necessary work of bagging bodies. We had one bag designated for body parts we could not match with a specific person. I dreaded that bag.

The dead bodies were soft and came apart when we tried to pick them up. Our clothes were covered in putrid slime.”

William F. Sine Quote: “When it was his turn, he stood and launched into an animated speech in fake Japanese, complete with bizarre gestures and facial expressions. Normally impervious to embarrassment, I was mortified. Our Japanese hosts appeared more confused than offended.

William F. Sine Quote: “I gave up trying to duplicate Nara’s hunting skills. He could make animal calls from leaves. He put a leaf in his mouth and mimicked the sound of a chicken. A short time later, chickens walked over to him and he killed them. I could never attain that level of expertise. Animal impersonation skills must be genetic, because I could never make the proper sounds. When I tried an animal call it seemed that some creatures made sounds in reply. Nara said it was just the animals laughing at me.”

William F. Sine Quote: “The cadre expected me to do twenty nine iterations, alternating sixty pushups and eighty flutter kicks – this after a full day of our hardest workout to date.

William F. Sine Quote: “We sometimes used this phenomenon to prank newcomers. A PJ would fill his mouth full of soup with chunky vegetables and sit next to a new PJ.

If well-acted and timed, this spectacle would often trigger vomiting in the victim.”

William F. Sine Quote: “The final part of the swim workout was “water harassment.” These days, the official, politically correct name for this training is “water confidence,” but harassment is a more accurate description. Water harassment is designed to train PJs to remain calm and effectively deal with underwater emergencies. This training also prepares students for the rigorous military scuba school later in the pipeline. As a result, PJs are exceptionally skilled and comfortable in the water.”

William F. Sine Quote: “He built a blind within sight of the berries. It took him about five minutes to build the blind out of bamboo, leafy tree limbs and vines.

William F. Sine Quote: “Rob tries to help and uses his hand to apply direct pressure to his face to stop bleeding. Sergeant Funches is dismayed to see Disney’s hand disappear into his face. Rob’s facial nerves are not working, and he can’t feel what’s going on. Funches removes Disney’s hand, repositions the flap of hanging face to its correct anatomical alignment, and places Sergeant Disney’s own hand on the best spot to apply pressure and stop the bleeding.”
