I know that the enemy long ago figured out that they could get about three mortar rounds off in one setting before the military vectors in on them. So they are usually gone by then. Our guys do locate them on occasion and either waste them or round them up.
The way I respond to incoming fire is to either duck into the nearest bunker, dive unerneath whatever hard surface there may be nearby or hit the ground. ;-)
I was not close enough in the vicinity of the ones that came in yesterday or today to have to enact my own missile defense "duck and cover" plan. LOL
As a civilian contractor are you making enough to make it worth the adventure?
May I ask what it is you do? Do you have family and what do they think of you being there?
How did you get the job?
How do the Iraquis treat you?
Are things getting better?
How are the Iraqui police and military forces coming along?
If any thing I ask puts you in a bad position then please don't answer, just curious.
My brother visits from time to time. He's with Triple Canopy.
Do you run with those guys at all?
