Anaconda was bad in 2004 from what friends told me. one big rocket attack on the main DFAC during chow hours, several KBR kitchen helpers were killed. several hundred people on the floor, and nowhere to hide.
in 2005 we had something every day but it was usually haphazard, a targeted salvo of maybe 5 to 10 rounds happened only a couple times a month (and then the targeting was always real and accurate).
my last week there 8 mortar rounds into the KBR truck lot 200 yards away at 5:30AM, first time I ever wore body armor in my hooch and stayed on hands and knees. my hooch was shaking. fortunately only one KBR guy slightly injured.
saw a photo of one guy’s hooch in Taji after a rocket attack, the entire front of the trailer was missing or in shreds.
It's real quiet and calm now.
And I rather like it this way. We're going full speed ahead on the rebuild now.
