we went on a convoy yesterday to play a graduation for the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps. good lord!!! the engineers took 2 wrong turns and as a result, a rocket propelled grenade shot between the first 2 trucks on our convoy and we took small arms fire. luckily we got the hell out of there in time and noone was hit. then an improv. explosive divice exploded a block away from us. i guess someone hit the wrong button, because i'm pretty sure it was ment for us. God was looking out for us that day thats for sure. Then our second job got cancelled and it was too dangerous to travel, being that today is the anniversary of our occupation, so we stayed at the camp. This morning, we drove over unexploded ordinance without realizing it!!! I hope we never ride with the dumbass engineers again thats for sure! they are going to get us killed! When we got back to base, we found that there had been attacks all evening!!! a tank got hit and killed 8 of our guys, so we were retaliating with artillary all day. HOOAH, I hope we melted them to their walls!!!

Lack of land nav ability does get people killed, that's for sure. I'm glad I served in the age before GPS, I never got lost using a real map.

Get a copy of this if you can.

You might not be in charge of movement going out, but depending on what happens you could be in charge coming back.
