I deployed once and bunked next to this mother f*cker who had sleep apnea. I was so used to sleeping next to my quiet, beautiful wife every night I was already pissed about being in a cot, and nothing warm to snuggle up to.
So we're dozing out and here this guy goes. He sounded like a freight train. I was so mad, and kept getting out of bed and nudging him. Yelling at him. Other guys in the barrack thought it was hilarious (guess they were used to sleeping next to snoring dudes?? Don't know). I was really mad and tired the next day.
For the rest of the deployment I smartened up. Grabbed a new pair of ear plugs each night (the good kind) and slept beautifully (you just have to get used to ear plugs being in which is strange at first). Plus if anyone on the other side of the barracks had night duty I would go jump in their cot to get away from this terror. I've never heard anyone snore like this dude could. It was ridiculous.
