So it turns out I did my Advanced Infantry Training at Fort Polk Louisiana, where, on the first day, a drill sergeant was telling us about the finer points of local herpetology, when one of the trainees asked what we should do if we run across one of these things.
His response: "You don't do nothin'. Only an idiot or a naturalist goes messin' around with snakes. Besides, though we give you rifles, we mostly don't give you bullets."
