My LT caught me doing that on one drill when I was humping both an M-60 and a Dragon, and when we got to the objective, we were ordered into MOPP IV. I flat fell asleep, which was uncharacteristic of me. The LT showed a flash of intelligence and sent me to the medics, where I was diagnosed with the flu and had a fever of 104 degrees F. I think I would have been comfortable on a bed of nails, I was so out of it.
