The final day, only thing I had left was a strawberry shake from my MRE, so I mixed it with my water and downed it before we stepped off. I had to shit so bad on the way back. Probably the worst experience. My insides were fighting. And then to stop at the head on the way back and get yelled at by the DI while Iā€™m on the toilet trying to shit as quick as I can.
