What I learned in the Military

I made one blunder on active duty that I should have seen coming.  I was stung by a scorpion the evening before and in the morning, having survived and not gone to an ER for treatment, I mentioned to my colleagues that I survived a scopion sting.  Bad Move.  Wrong time.  The morning in the miltiary is a time to deny that challenges exist. Better to wait until noon and having finished the mornings chores you are free to speak at will of your outside business hours maladies.
