Funny thing is I can honestly say even after a 6mo tour with the grunts living in a trash dump, bombed out office building, and finally a warehouse. Hundreds of miles patrolled on foot and driven. 9mo tour with a EOD security platoon, 9 mo with a STP/FRSS, and a final tour with a STP where I went out to the MTT and PTT for medical support constantly: I HAVE NEVER SEEN A CAMEL SPIDER. And that is enough proof for me that there is a God!
I am the worlds biggest arachnophobe. My only saving grace is I am even more afraid of letting my brothers seeing my punk card get pulled, so when I had a face to face with a banna spider at JWTC in Oki I was able to play it off. But me and spiders are not friends at all.
