At least we're not getting shelled as much. Only two rockets last night. Before there were days we'd lose count before lunch. Of course part of that is because if it's 700meters away but inside the camp it counts. If it's 250 meters away and just outside the wall, it doesn't count. So it's sometimes hard to tell which ones count and which ones don't.
I've watched them hit left and right within 2-300 meters. I can also tell the difference between a rocket overhead and a mortar coming down. That one you learn quickly! But sometimes it's hard to tell if it's incoming, outgoing, or a 500lb or 1000 pounder dropped in town. And then there's always the short rounds and the danger close...and of course sometime Spooky shoots.
So you see, there may be a lot of noise but it's hard to get exicted about any of it anymore.
