Brandon, what branch of what country's military are you in? I think we're all curious now.
It wasn't like this when I was in the U.S. Army infantry in the 90's. It is odd to me that you would see the doc in the first place. Everyone knows you just tape the toe and Charlie Mike it.
I hope you've learned now that you never, ever, ask for permission. You beg for forgiveness (if you get caught).
