Wild Tiger

How A Local Energy Drink Became An Icon Of The Iraq War

This article had me chuckling a bit, as I remember drinking Wild Tiger, not near as much as the other guys, but it did work keeping your ass awake.

Was it really that good during deployments?

When the U.S. first went into Bosnia and we were patrolling and doing convoy security like mad men, Jolt was the Tiger equivalent. It had 2mg/ fl. oz more caffeine than Wild Tiger. To say we were addicted to that shit post deployment is an understatement.

You do a lot of otherwise outside the box stuff downrange. In 1994 our PSG made our entire Patriot missile site security force observe a minute of silence when we found out the porn star Savannah had died.

I don't think any energy drink is "good" as in taste, good at keeping you awake, yes. About a million times better than the Ripits.

Well probably from your first wannabe bullshit question that was a waste of my time...but make no mistake you made it onto the "your a clown list" with your last reply.

She was an actress. And a damn good one. She had her breasts enlarged...twice. RIP.

Wow, I am so old fashioned, I never had an energy drink.
Couple of sips from a small 5 hour energy to see what they tasted like.

On that same day and site in Saudi, we 'tactically kidnapped' and executed a Blood In on a staff 1LT who was on an escort team for the Undersecretary of the Army that day, who was making morale visits to various U.S. positions.

LT was "thinking of getting into a field unit" and asked "what its like for you guys on a regular basis." :blkeye:

There was something in the air that day. Caffeinated troops be crazy on deployment.

I'm not trying to act like a douche. I was just trying to mess around with you in a joking manner. Sorry if I pissed you off.
