You take a warm shower to help you wake up.
The rain in the middle of the jungle keeps him awake.

He's chilled to the bone, hasnt eaten all day, has the flu, and then drags himself through mud and grass.
__________________________
You drink your coffee on your way to the mall.
He leaps off walls and scrapes past obstacles with an additional 25% of his body weight.
__________________________
You make sure your cell phone is in your pocket.
He makes sure the pass device on his pack is working.
__________________________

You gossip about your "buddies" that aren't with you.
He watches his buddy fall through the floor.
__________________________

You walk down the mall, staring at all the pretty clothes.
He goes through the jungle searching for his missing mate.
_________________________

You complain about how hot it is.
He wears fifty pounds of gear in the middle of July and does a 10mile march after a 2 mile run.
__________________________

You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong.
He hasnt seen a meal since breakfast.
__________________________

Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.
Hes worn the same stinking, wet, grungy clothes for the past 24 hours....no time for a shower.

You go to the mall and get your hair redone.
He has sweat and gunk coated on his, and starts to develop a rash.

You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.
His shift ended 2 hours ago and hes on for another 24 hours after being ordered in.
__________________________

You call your girls out and set a date for tonight.
He calls his girlfriend to tell her he made it back alive....then leaves abruptly again.

You yell and scream at the car that just past you because they slowed you down.
Hes in the back of a tank, dreading what he has to do today.

You stay at home and watch TV.
He takes his spare time to wash his uniforms, polish up his gear and maybe call his mother to tell her not to worry, he'll be home the next night
__________________________

You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable.
He tries to sleep on his spring board bed but keeps getting woken up by the gong and bell, ahh, one hour of sleep, it should due till tomorrow night.
