We were finishing up a 24 hour mission, most of us had been awake 40+ hours, dead tired.
About this stretch of our exfil, that song from Pauly Shores "In The Army Now" started playing in my head over and over, you know the one, when they are staggering through the desert with no water and lost. "The Dam At Otter Creek" by Live, yeah that one.
Anyways, no kidding in 15 minutes, we had a flat tire from a A CO truck, my team leaders truck started over heating, and we had a Combat Camera dude become a Heat Casualty(hehe go figure)We were out of water, all trucks were half a tank of fuel or less, it was 120+ mid-day heat, and around 45miles back to the FOB. Oh yeah, we all stunk like freshly squeezed ***.(sry admins, that last one had to said like that for full effect!)
I have seen the desert...
It is big...
It's is hot...
It is dangerous...
The Boss...
Poor LT...
Living the Dream...
