It‚Äôs about 4am here and I had to get out of my sleeping bag and walk around because it‚Äôs just too cold to sleep. The morning usually involves hanging out with the mortar guys as they build a fire and make hot water for coffee or ramin noodles…. We all stand and wait for B.O.B. -which is an acronym for the sun (Big Orange Ball). Leave it to the troops to come up with another acronym.
My personal favorite is: T.L.A. (three letter acronym)
I‚Äôm not sure when the next helicopter is coming or even if there is room for me on it… but I will probably try to go on a mission today with 2nd platoon. I’m actually a bit worried about this one because I was told that they get shot at every time they go into this area where we might be going today…. last time they had two KIA’s (killed in action) and 3 wounded.
