- | There was two MPs, they was probably my age, very young. | 0:00 |
And they was like- They was probably the best soldiers, | 0:03 | |
the nicest people I've met in my entire life. | 0:06 | |
They was so down to earth, it was unbelievable. | 0:09 | |
You couldn't get any better people than these two guys. | 0:11 | |
They would bring us like ice creams, sneak us ice cream, | 0:15 | |
Snickers, Mars, Ben and Jerry's in the night. | 0:18 | |
When they do night shift, there was a chair room | 0:21 | |
and get food and Coke. You know? You name it. | 0:23 | |
They should bring it sneaky, | 0:26 | |
underneath their pockets and come and give it to us. | 0:28 | |
And the one- I used to have long hair in Guantanamo, | 0:30 | |
I actually grew my hair. So it was quite long, | 0:31 | |
it's probably like long as probably my shoulder. | 0:33 | |
And obviously, having no shampoo and having no conditioner | 0:36 | |
you have a lot of knots in your hair. | 0:40 | |
So, I asked for a comb and I asked for | 0:42 | |
some Pantene shampoo and conditioner. | 0:45 | |
And they actually went out | 0:49 | |
and bought this for me and gave it to me. | 0:50 | |
And what they did, they have every individual has a file. | 0:52 | |
On this file, it tells you what you're allowed to have, | 0:57 | |
what that individual is allowed to have. | 0:59 | |
So what they did, they actually wrote in there | 1:01 | |
he's allowed to have a comb, he's allowed | 1:04 | |
to have shampoo and the container. | 1:07 | |
So, the other soldiers would come and say, | 1:08 | |
"Hang on, he's got Pantene? What's happening here?" | 1:11 | |
And they would like, you know, the ones who are not so nice, | 1:14 | |
not so friendly, they would like be | 1:18 | |
very, very pissed off and angry. | 1:19 | |
The fact that I've got a comb and I got Pantene | 1:21 | |
and them like basically, "Well, we don't get this kind of | 1:24 | |
treatment from the army. So why should he?" | 1:26 | |
I said, "Well, why don't you go and look at your paperwork?" | 1:28 | |
and he would go when I say, "He's allowed to have it." | 1:30 | |
(woman laughs) | 1:33 |
