When the ground shakes in Iraq, its not a good thing. I remember walking to the PX with a group of people. The next thing we heard was wahiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnng, then boom with the ground shaking so hard. This was the sound of a motar over our heads and it was landing. Thank goodness their was a bunker right next to us. We all jumed in all scared like were ganna shit on ourselves. We find out later that the morter landed in one of the living areas we stay at. Thank goodness their was no one in the rooms. Still, another incident when I was at work and the next thing we hear a big gigantic boom and the ground shook so hard. Next thing we hear is Alarm Red. We knew we had to put our gear on and run to the nearest bunker. What happened this day was a sad one when we lost 4 people to that mortar. The mortar actually landed in front of an office door. Their was someone in front of the door who was blasted plus everyone in the office with blown schrapnel scattered. It was bad. We hear the mortars coming and we don’t know where it can land and kill us. The price we pay evey day we are in Iraq. The Big Bang.
