It is 25 March and this is my seven month anniversary of stepping foot in SE Asia. Only five more months until I can be with my family! I have moved to the night shift and I like it a lot. I’m working out when the gym is empty and in the office I work at my own pace and distance ;o)
There seems to always be someone shooting small arms at us, but today was a bit more exciting as we had some incoming while I was asleep. The events were pretty awesome really, once you get over the fact that you are the target downrange. It happened at about noonish and I was sound asleep. I awoke to the sound of the Big Giant Voice announcing “INCOMING, INCOMING, INCOMING...” I was still half asleep when, a few moments later, I heard the sound of the C-RAM spitting explosive rounds at whatever was inbound. A few minutes later the Big Giant Voice announced, “All clear.” No idea what it was, but the sailors seem to have dispatched it with relative ease. I have vowed not to make fun of the Navy for three days.
