Pre-Combat Jitters? Actually it’s a sane reaction to going back to combat environment, the body is tuning itself up, usually the night before you deploy. First night in you are keyed up too. Then on the third night all you want to do is sleep. as you really haven’t got any in the last two or three days. That’s what my experience was, pretty good portrayal.

Always use the five foot rule on waking someone like a nervous Agrippa, ten feet is better. Like the Bad Dream and bored look of Grey after he realized that he would of been dead. It’s like thinking “no quick movements and no threatening posture?” Ah ha! Bored should work.

yeowza Sca-Ree i sure wouldnt want to be waking up agrippa

on another note lol@alarm clock comment classic just classic

Always wake a vet up by, at most, shaking a foot, ready to leap backward. That hyper-alertness could take years to wear off, depending on the local support etc. Back from 2nd tour in RVN in ’70, my toddler daughters would slam the screen door and I would be behind the couch. Sounded JUST like a 122!
