With Stryker off camp the young mexican was eager to enjoy this unexpected but rather pleasantly received bout of 'freedom.' So rather than bothering to train or let alone wear his uniform as was expected of him, Ric was out in the parade area, clad in only his combats and distinctly minus a shirt or tank top. He was, and there really was no other way to put it, sunbathing.
Sprawled on the ground, the shirt he should have been wearing balled up to make a pillow for his head, he had his earphones in and his recently retrieved ipod blaring away as he lounged in the warm sunshine, eyes closed and bare feet tapping out a beat against the dusty ground.
"I met a devil woman, she took my heart away. She said I had it comin' to me, but I wanted it that way. I think that any love is good lovin' And so I took what I could get, mmmhhmmm. Oooh, oooh, she looked at me with big brown eyes and said..." Singing along with the track Ric was completely lost in the moment, guard down and oblivious to the world around him.
