Snoring soldiers?

[WeedGuru_Flow]

So last night right before I dozed off my mind somehow started dwelling on snoring soldiers.


I mean, does this get checked when they enter boot camp? Can someone wash out for snoring too loudly at night?


Imagine being in a force recon unit deep behind enemy lines, you set up for the night in an abandoned dwelling with your four teammates or whatever,and you take first watch.


Now imagine three of them snoring like some wild animal,real loud.



How will you stay hidden from the enemy?


Does any army take this into account when deploying forces and putting together squads?



You could actually use this to your advantage by putting the snoring ones seperately and ambushing any incoming enemies that get drawn in by the noise they make.


But then again i'd rather have buddies that are quiet :p




Food for thought...

Haha, I've seen this somewhere on the net before....I think it happened that their posistion has been given away due to snoring...if I remember correctly

[WeedGuru_Flow]

Someone ought to know or have their opinion about it!

[logically]

I honestly just find it hilarious that you even thought of this....

you had to have been stoned lol!

[Weedguru Higher]

it seems the U.S, Army had a problem ... when their soldiers would sleep during covert operations ... they would snore so loud, it blew their cover, allowing the insurgents to locate them easily.

lol yeah I was stoned, thought of it right before I fell asleep a couple of nights ago hehe.

Yeah, it definitely had to be a high thought. I'm surprised you remembered it, it's those types of creative thoughts that I tend to forget.

With that being said, I don't think they take it into consideration unless someone has a medical history associated with snoring. Say, if they have polyps (things that clog up the nose) or something. It definitely is a good observation though... I guess it's all situational. I'm sure they have people on constant watch, especially behind enemy lines like in your example... so if someone is snoring extremely loud, the soldier on watch might let them know.

Higher's example just shows that this isn't always the case though.

Yah, I figured they'd always have someone on watch, but still, once someone snores loud enough everybody you don't want to hear will hear, depending of course on the situation and where they are camped/based for the night.

Imagine standing on watch,all is calm,everything is quiet, and all of a sudden one of your guys starts snoring like a hibernating bear. You set up in a bombed out ruin with bare walls, that amplifies the noise he makes.

Even if you run inside and wake the guy up,they'll know of your presence!


OMFG!

this thread amuses me

your a weirdo flow

[(weedguru)scarf]

hahaha it made me laugh too... but then i was thinking... one of my good buds was in the singapore army for a while and he snores like a mother fucker.... so i wonder how they dealt with it... i will have to ask him next time im talking to him

[WeedGuru_Flow]

Please do

They have those nose patches that supposedly help against snoring but the noise produced by some is deafening :p

[weedguru_animal]

in modern warfare, i don't think this could ever be an issue. As its highly unlikely, that opposing forces are that close together, with neither aware of the exact positions of the other, that someone snoring could give away their hideout...maybe in vietnam, but not now, in the age of extremely perceptive satellite coverage, communication and training. i will certainly ask my ex infantry mate, big richy, but i am sure he will laugh...

[WeedGuru_Flow]

Even with all that technology mistakes get made and I am sure at some points squads are much closer to the enemy than they would like to be.

Do ask Richy, i'm very curious about this.

[weedguru_animal]

I shall do just that, mate...although that cagefighting goon is presently on his travels, unfortunately for me, and the safety of my life here, apparently en route to my den, in his own haphazard way...
