Friend of mine doing what Marines do best: digging a hole… in the mud.
Before I got out I managed to learn about every kind of mud there was. You got your stinking brown mud, crumbly slippery mud, slimy mud with bits in it, and the best was baby shit mud–it was exactly the way it sounds, slippery, all different colors with chunks and made a hill into baby shit mountain. We gave up scraping the stuff off our boots, even though it added pounds of weight to each step, although that was nothing compared to the strain of pulling your foot up out of the suction of a particular piece of baby shit mud real-estate you were stepping out of. All this while carrying about 40-50 pounds of gear on you.
