Fun times!

Well, been busy, as usual.

I was gunning the other night and initiated a firefight. I observed 5 dismounts in the woodline with AK-47s and a suspicious looking package. It was after curfew, and they had apparently just fired on a broken down semi in that same area. So, we rolled up there and I scanned for them, only taking 5 minutes or so to locate and confirm that they did infact have weapons

The transmission in my Humvee went out, leaving me with no reverse or overdrive. In the middle of a firefight. Luckily, they weren't very good shots! They did almost hit my buddy Matt, but we were superior in firepower. And right after my tranny went out, Matt's truck got a flat! Nice, huh? But, we're blessed beyond belief to have yet to sustain a casualty. Hopefully it stays that way!
