Pardon my ignorance but what is an “IDF”?

IDF: indirect fire; rockets, mortars, missiles.

When it's inbound, a claxon will go off with three alerts, followed by "incoming, incoming, incoming!"

Usually by the time the first "incoming" hits the PA, the rockets are already exploding, and shortly thereafter, unless its a protracted attack, it's over.

Thank you again for your service. Just curious, did that ginormous bag work out okay for you? It'll hold a metric shit-ton of opium if you turn to the dak side. Big Grin

Let us know if you need anything. We can ship you a care package. We'll just need a mailing address.

How time flies when you're having fun! 5 days and a wake-up! After we stop in Kandahar for a few more PAX we'll be on the way out to Dubai. As soon as we clear AF air space they hand out a brace of Stella Artois to every man-jack on board! Woot!

Well, I guess it's better than no beer at all.

Glad you're safe. Keep an eye on those Air Force guys driving. No beer for them.
