One of my team-mates lost a filling and will be disappearing tomorrow to head to a larger base so we’ll soon be a team of two for a bit. Hopefully we can hang on.
Last night, several dozen luminiere (spelling?) rounds went up from the 155 artillery battery. I’m still not sure if it was cool. I’ve never been into loud noises and they certainly were. Once up in the air, it looked like there was a massive streetlight flying through the air. Each one made me jump.
It is nice to be out where the good food is. Pecan pie every day! Unfortunately, only strawberry milk here, no banana flavored, but really, how can you complain? This place is active, there were probably 30+ helicopters coming in and out yesterday with shipments, my team, war-fighters, etc.
I’m located in a pretty valley, ringed by snow-covered mountains. This is the 3rd place I’ve been though that is down below surrounding areas. Not that the bases are at risk for being overrun by a hoard of the Anti-Afghan Forces, but, most get shot at occasionally and that is much more easily done from above so why don’t they set up bases like mankind for millennia on top of high points? Here a lot of the insurgents are “economic insurgents” that are paid to launch attacks but do so only half-heartedly, shooting briefly from behind rocks, ducking for cover, and then making their way back home.
Peace...
