I've been to Paris and Rome at night.

>>1067587
No but some of the neighborhoods I've walked throughhave felt like it.

>>1067587
I spent 8 months in Sudan, supposedly training the Sudanese military in small-unit tactics. In reality I spent 8 months chasing baboons out of our tents and listening to a Sudanese colonel's excuses why his battalion had failed to show up AGAIN. 8 months and I spent less than 30 hours actually teaching anything.

FUCK THAT. You literally couldn't pay me to go back.

Not SOF, was bog-standard light infantry. Retired now.

Funniest story, unsurprisingly, involves our first encounter with baboons. Honestly it was a very boring and miserable 8 months.
>day after arriving, have our "tents" (enormous quick-set shelters called a Base-X) set up
>attempting to do morning PT, most of us are jetlagged to fuck and sweating to death instead
>hear an incoherent yell from one of the shitbags that'd weaseled his way out of PT
>whole section goes running for the yell
>he's half up a tree yelling about monkeys and wildly gesturing at the tents
>dafuq
>carefully pull open the outer flap to the nearest Base-X (they have a double-walled vestibule)
>almost get run the fuck over by a troop of about a dozen baboons as they panic and flee
>one tries to bite me, somehow manage to flop-dodge out of the way, it continues fucking off
>"wow, smells like shit and feet in here"
>piles of monkey shit all over everything, in the less than 5 minutes they were (known to be) in the tent they defecated at least 3x each
>kick the A/C unit on high (it's a trailered combo generator/forced-air system) to air out the tent, make some privates scoop the monkey-poo and wash the floor liner
>feet smell dissipates, shit smell persists all day
>okay, we missed some shit
>commence search
>no dice
>2 days go by, monkeyshit smell getting worse
>finally fucking disassemble everything trying to find this rogue shit pile so we can actually sleep
>it's 8 feet up the ventilation tube and around 2 bends
>how the actual fuck
The baboons were so fucking bad that despite nearly perfect trash/food discipline we had to post an armed roving guard to keep them out of the tents. 4 people were bitten, 2 of which severely enough to require medevac to Germany for surgery. I think in the course of the exercise we shot and killed close to 100 of them and wounded probably 3x that. Weren't gonna chase them into the African bush, usually at dusk, with just M4's.

Haven't yet, but I want to do a Greater Kudu hunt like Hemingway did in Green Hills of Africa.

I was a SSG at the time, since we were a detachment and not a full platoon our NCOIC was a master sergeant. Old, country black guy.

I dearly loved his instructions on native wildlife.

Didn't really have to worry about spiders, I never saw one. We very carefully removed a few snakes from the premises with an OE254 antenna mast since none of us could ID African snakes to (literally) save our lives, and had no incidents with them. We saw what might've been some African wild dogs in the distance, but we were close enough to a town they might've just been Africanized feral mongrels (AKA, strays). Only other animal encounter besides the baboons that's worth mentioning is we had a pangolin wander through camp completely ignoring everybody.

>>1068259
That sounds terrible, actually.
I'd rather hunt baboons and some small plains game on my first African hunt. Maybe some wingshooting.

Almost went there with the Norman Borlaug Institute then the shit hit the fan. Went to Swaziland instead.

Hot, dry. Dealt mainly with other NATO forces members. Pretty sure the Sudanese colonel that was pretty much my only contact with the Sudanese locals was agnostic or at least nonpracticing.
