I was strapped to a 3/4 plywood board using aircraft strappings at the ankles, knees, hips, chest and wrists.

A very large beach towel was folded and soaked in a bucket of water and then held VERY firmly over my face.

Then a water hose was draining over the towel.

The whole time I was never asked a question. They asked questions of the Lt1 who was forced to watch all the while them threatening to kill me.

I had never even heard of the waterboard before and had just spent 8 days in the wilderness with nothing to eat.

They told me when it was over "I bet THAT was the longest 5 minutes of your life. I was "submerged" 6 times in the 5 min period...with about 10secs between each.

So yes, I lasted over twice as long as KSM.

He's a pu$$y.
