Moominoid, True story, I swear... Before I was in the military, the only cockroaches I ever saw were small, roughly the size of a man's thumbnail. In retrospect, I suppose they were the German cockroach variety. However, after going to AIT in Texas, I saw real cockroaches. We called them sewer roaches, but they were huge suckers. Some of them were as big as small birds, I swear (like the size of a hummingbird). They got into everything. They'd come up through the shower drains at night, or in between the doors and the doorsills. Once in a while, you'd actually feel one of these guys crawling over your blanket at night. The immediate urge is to fling that blanket as fast and as far as one can. Creepy, crawly disgusting little things. Pesticides would control them for a day or two, but they'd be back in no time at all. KJC
