Anyone ever camoflaged a hooch so well you couldn't find it?
Twice...
Once in basic, we set up our hooches and I chose a perimeter spot. I woke up to light shining through. I poked my head out and didn't see anyone else or their hooches. Panic! That was probably the fastest I ever packed a ruck. I ran out to Malone road and there was the rest of the company in formation waiting to move out. DS's looked surpised, they didn't do a proper headcount and didn't notice one was missing. They just told me to fall in. Nothing ever came of it.
Second time, my team built a hide on the side of a hill we could all fit in for our OPFOR ops. We spent about an hour camoflaging it. We chose a location that was a generic as could be and not in natural lines of drift. We left for an ambush and came back later and couldn't find it for another hour. Apparently we had built it so structurally sound we were standing on it!
