All,
How are you all doing? I hope all is well back home. Things were looking like they were about to slow down recently, but the TB just don't learn. We have run some missions since the last updates and they have not been without excitement. We identified some guys carrying guns around from time to time and when they are out of range to kill we will just track them and watch where they go. We took our AUP (Afghan Uniformed Police) which is our partner force here to go and search the compounds where we have seen them frequent. On one such occasion we had guys dismount from the trucks and walk into the village to search said compounds. After they had finished searching and were making their way back to the trucks we started taking fire from the East and West. It was a nice little cross-fire for the enemy that we quickly squashed. I don't know if I have mentioned this before but I have a mini-gun mounted on top of my truck that spits about 60 rounds of 7.62mm fury per second. In addition to that little beauty I have a M-240 machine gun, mortar, grenade launcher, sniper rifle, and other assorted fun items to deal with bad guys. So, we immediately returned fire with our mini-gun and I jumped out with the mortar. While my senior weapons guys was laying down a wall of lead with the mini I was dropping mortar rounds on the would be ambushers. While ***** was observing 2 guys with guns and about to fire on them, one of my mortar rounds air-bursted directly above them. The end result was a nice loud boom, a cloud of dust, and no more bad guys. After all that fun we maneuvered around and exchange rounds with the bad guys some more (they just don't learn). After we had enough of chasing the rabbit we headed back to our DSP to eat some chow and celebrate. On the way back the TB took a couple of cheap shots at my truck, specifically **** and myself. The first one passed directly between he and I and we quickly ducked as a few more pinged off the truck. We poked our heads up enough to lay down an immense amount of machine gun and mini-gun fire in their direction. Must've worked beacause we didn't get anymore cheap shots after that.
Another mission we went on the TB used their same tricks on us and shot at us as we were headed home. This really pissed off the AUP who quickly turned into the village we were passing and chased them through the village. Not good, this is a tactic that the enemy will use to lure you into a better postion for them to fight you. We did the smart thing and pulled security on the perimeter of the village as the AUP lit up this village like WWII. We shot some guys who were trying to leave on motorcycles that pulled off to take pop-shots at us. The TB shot a couple of RPGs at us (luckily these guys couldn't shoot for shit) and they landed safely away from us. After the AUP had their fun in the village the came back out and we returned home. Enough fun for the day.
Other than the bits of fun outside the wire we do whatever we can to stay sane when we are at our base. We have a Fantasy Football league going on that is getting pretty intense already and it's only week 1. I started a workout program with another guy on my team who is also a personal trainer back home so he has been crushing me in the gym on the regular. My goal is to return home in great shape and ready to go to dive school. I am trying to take full advantage of the fact that we are at 7500 feet elevation here and hopefully sea level will be a cake walk when I get home. The practical jokes have kind of slacked off too since we have stayed a little bit busy. We did throw some CS gas into a bunch of our dudes who were working on the camp though. I got the whole thing on camera and it was hilarious; of course the guys on the recieving end didn't think so. If anyone has any other good pracitcal joke ideas please send them right away. We are always looking for fresh ideas.
That's all the news I have for you guys right now. Take care and I will talk to you all soon.
