The next morning i woke up in in a camp, i have no idea what happened last night. Bob came in and he told me everything, he said: "While you were patrol, i saw you lied flat on the ground, i thought you died, i came by and realized you were just tired and fell asleep, you scared me. When the lieutenant found out, he didn't do anything, he didn't shout at you, he told me to take you back into one of the tent and let you sleep for the night, he said you deserve that." Deserve that? What? Why did the lieutenant said i deserve a good night sleep. But anyways, we are moving this morning, we marched all day long, no rest, if anyone falls behind, someone have to help him or else that guy will be left.

Today feels long, it's a sunny day, the sun is boiling hot, the division is just tired. As the sunsets, we set up camp again, today the guys who patrolled last night gets to rest, the guys who slept last night is patrolling tonight. I got to sleep tonight, i still don't know why, i slept by accident last night and suppose to be patrolling tonight but it's okay. I always enjoy a good night sleep.
