mbinkyWhen I first heard about the "fighting season" I literally though it was a joke. The comment to my buddy in the brief was "what it this, the 1700's"? Well it dam sure is real. It had been quiet where we were for a few weeks, but on "opening day" we caught a little ISAF and another COP near us got some IDF.
Stay safe over there!

Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

cslingerWhat’s funny is I am terrified of tornado season and here you are having to deal with mortar season. One, I am a pussy. Two, take care and stay safe.
Take Care, Shoot Safe,

ARMT GuyFrom what I saw in '03-'04 and '10-'11 over there, they usually didn't hit much that concerned us, ( their attacks often killed far more Afghani people than ours, ) but every so often, they'd land a really good hit on something.
It was a very different feeling there than Iraq. In Afghanistan, you knew those fuckers were out for your ass.
Keep your head on a swivel and make damn sure you and our people make it back home safe and sound.

It absolutly was. Our first COP was next to an ANA detachment. We had a small berm and a single row of concertina wire between us and them. My first night I was laying there thinking "some eff stain is going to stand on top of the berm, machine gun our tents, and roll a few grenades our way. WTF are we doing". So the next day we relocated our tents to the other side of the compound. That place is a total shit show and we just need to leave.

Yup. Can't use contaminated heroine if it is burned to ash and smells like victory

I agree. Enough already. It's a shithole and always will be a shithole no matter what we do. Not one single American should shed one drop of blood for that place.

Rolled in safely last Friday, one week of turnover and now the shop is mine. So far this week we've had 4 IDFs. Such a warm welcome from the neighbors! Only 15 weeks to go and the official Fighting Season doesn't start til 1June. Whee! I'll be in touch as time allows.
Sounds familiar.
