What happens when you take a bunch of highly trained, heavily armed paratroopers, give them a mission, and then leave them with entirely too much time on their hands?Nothing good. And usually something hilarious.This time in The War Locker, we're joined by one of Tom's former Police Explorers who went on to serve with the legendary 82nd Airborne Division.
He shares some gloriously ridiculous stories about taking his team out for training, the trouble soldiers manage to find when nobody's shooting at them, and what happens when boredom meets military-grade creativity.Because you can train a soldier to handle combat, chaos, and just about anything the enemy throws at him.But apparently, nobody's figured out how to train him to behave when there's nothing to do.Welcome to the 82nd Airborne, where the most dangerous part of the mission might be the downtime.From the War Locker archives, exclusively for subscribers.
