[AAR] The successful but completely unintentional flank...

So I'm pretty much a new guy to PR.
A n00b as the kiddies call it.
My best experience so far in PR was a couple of days ago in Muttrah City. I was a MEC Rifleman, basic ground pounder. I know much of the basics of PR like deployments, requesting kits, AA/AT use, Medic abilities, etc., but I still have much to learn on the flow/pacing of battle on most of the maps.
I was guarding a crate with a squad member but he told me there is no use of two of us being here as it was a generally small area (like 10 by 20 ft). I agreed and nervously checked my map to see where other squad members were so I can meet up with them. I run a bit ahead towards where they were but eventually they died before I can get to them (the SL and an AR).
So I'm pretty much in enemy territory now as they just captured West City Center. Nervous and not sure if I should just head back through enemies I take up shelter in an alleyway. Hearing fire from above of a nearby building I decided I should take a look. Lo and behold it's a whole squad of enemy.
The first one I saw was a designated marksman, laying prone looking the opposite direction. I wanted to knife him, but I was nervous about being taken out if I do - and I wanted to kill them all. So I line up my sights on the back of his neck and let a rip, one down. I moved quickly from the staircase into the left side entrance into some apartment. Soon as I get to the doorway it's a bunch of guys looking out the windows in the opposite direction.
Whoa. Free kill heaven, but can I pull it off? I'm a nervous n00b after all.
One headed back to the door and ran right pass me, I quickly turned around and sprayed the entire room I just came from and luckily got him but now they definitely noticed me. With not even a second to spare I prime a grenade and wished for the best. Surely I thought these guys would kill me before I can even lob the damn thing.
I somehow managed to back pedal to the staircase as I felt the blurry effects of a familiar THUD, must have been shot in the process which was bound to happen but nothing a field dressing couldn't fix. I nervously re-equip my weapon and reload. Aiming down my sights and slowly make my way back into the apartment.
There lied 3 bodies (5 with the runner and marksman included), a sigh of relief and a very urgent need for a cigarette - I quit smoking a few years ago though.
This is probably standard fare for you guys but for a greenhorn like me, that was pretty damn awesome.
I held that building surprisingly, killing a few strays in the streets below from the top story windows. I got an adjacent firing position on the Mosque and help my cut off squad take it back via the roof with some suppressing fire. We (the team) eventually take back West City Center and moved forward.

I want you in my squad.
