[weirdtimes_7]

This will make you wake up and smell the flower's, especially when it's your buddy who was in the truck. Everyone made it out fine, but i didn't know untill i showed up to set up security, it really made me think about what life give's us all..

damn man, how did everyone make it out without harm? what kind of ammunition hit it to do that? a rpg or what?

[weirdtimes_7]

I can't really give that info out, but the British EOD said it's the second biggest bomb they have ever seen in Southern Iraq.

And yes, everyone made it out just fine, my buddy was pretty shocked he made it out, and he was the only one to sustain a shrapnell wound, be everyone is good to go

glad everyones ok and you guys stripped the bolt and reciever of the 240 so those assholes couldnt slavage it.

[Misfit4Runner]

ouch how long it take for that to burn off teill you could load it up? We had one of them 6wheel army rigs burn to the ground and had to wait about 12 hours before we could recover it. Also if yah dont mind could you PM me some pics im a combat instructor at the School of Infantry west for the Marine Corps and before I graduate a class of students I pull out all my pics from my last two tours and give them the stories. their boots and have a zillion questions but it would be cool to add some others stories to mine (it gets boring telling my stories over and over)

[Wermz84]

I'm glad they made it out ok! 

[Lady Di]

Oh man, that is some scarey Keep your head down and stay safe, Stang. You know we all care about you  

[weirdtimes_7]

glad everyones ok and you guys stripped the bolt and reciever of the 240 so those assholes couldnt slavage it.

Yes yes, and we had to wait about 8 hours before we could even walk up to it... when we did the first thing we took off was the 240, funny thing was, we would still be able to shoot it with a couple of things replaced on it. But i think there going to put it on a plak and give it to the gunner, which would be cool...
