Since i am nearly out of Iraq, I had to change rooms so that the new unit replacing ours can have the "good rooms." Well, now i am in a wooden shack.
You remember the stories of "if you are in Mexico, make sure to shake out your boots before putting them on?" well, it is true.
I went to put mine on yesterday and got my Left one on and tied up, i picked up my right one and went to put it on when i heard a quiet 'hissss.' Looking around for it the noise, i couldnt find where it came from. turned around with my boot in my hand and i heard it again. I tuned my boot over and i jumped about 6 feet into the air
a freaking 6 inch long (about 10-12 inch with its legs stretched out) Camel Spider was in my freaking boot.
Just to add insult to injury, after landing on the ground (both of us), the thing ****ing charged after me with its 'arms' 5 inches in the air. I found out something, you can not get away from a charging camel spider, they run 25+ MPH and they do bite. I ended up catching him and some people got pictures, i will see about stealing some with one of my 5.56MM rounds next to him to show just how big this damn thing was, i was to preoccupied with making sure it didnt escape the bucket i put it in to get any pictures on my camera
