A giant fucking Leap

Ohhhhh SHIT SON!!!! I just got done having DA DA DA DAAAAAAA...... BURGER KING!!!!!! and a nice cold monster. Thats right ladies and gender benders we have made it the fuck off of Rocketmiyah. Fuck Rocketmiyah you can have that shit. We made it off and trust me haaj gave us a pretty sweet send off.
We had our CIB (Combat Infantry Badge) ceremony early on in the afternoon. The SGM and BC had just finished with my Squad and started on 3rd when I hear the faint but familiar screeching of a Rocket flying over head. The alarm failed to registar that one until it hit, and I laughed out loud and thought to myself, "Hell ya! Our platoon would get rocketed during the CIB ceremony." The SGM yelled out "Incoming!" just as the siren started to blare. We all broke ranks and hauled ass for cover most of us laughing. Simmons was right behind me and I yelled "Stay away from me you son of a bitch!" He laughed and said "What?" I know those fucking rockets follow that asshole. With rockets done and exploded we finished up the ceremony and moved along the streets to eat our final lunch at the haaj restaurant.
Later that day we finished cleaning and the 1sg came by inspected rooms and we moved out to the assembly area. We loaded our rucks onto a truck and then moved to the helo pad. There was at least over 100 of moving in a single file line with body armor, helmets, weapons, and assault packs moving to the helo pad in a single file line that stretched at least about 200m. Suddenly- WAAAAA WAAAAA WAAA INCOMING INCOMING INCOMING. With one bunker in sight we made a mad dash to it as we heard the rockets scream over and impact near by. A rocket makes a distinct sound when it reaches its final destination its weird its like a crushing sound followed by boomness. With all this shit on not all of us could make it in and we hunkered out side. With that close call behind us we finally made it to the pad. As we waited haaj decided that one more attack would be nice and we heard the sirens again and close, it was if someone was calling in our movements as once again the rockets impacted nearby. One final rocket attack at Rocketmiyah no one hurt and we were waiting for the birds. You know who I was standing by every fucking time??? Simmons that right! Simmons the fucking Rocket magnet. He told me I didn't have to worry that we was good luck. I had to remind him of the guy running behind him from the rocket attack a couple of days ago that caught a hot piece in the back. Everytime we could hear the chop of the rotorblades people would cheer then we would realize they weren't ours and everyone would sigh. It was kinda like a big rollercoaster ride. Eventually the birds landed and we boarded. Everyone hoping the bird would take off soon to avoid any rockets if haaj cared to share again. The bird pulled power and lifted into the night the cabin erupted with cheers as we were off.
No more Rocketmiyah. Right now were in limbo in transit waiting for that big bird to send us into Can'tWait. I won't say where though if you've been to Iraq you know! I will say that they have a big PX (Not as big as the big big PX nearby) and you heard it in the begining the church of Flame Broil. I still have the after taste of Whopper lingering on my taste buds. Maybe not so much as lingering but dancing and playing and making love to my toungue! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Not to much longer folks and the big National Lampoons Iraqi vacation will be a not so distant memory for me and my days of sitting on the porch sippin my Sweet Iced Tea with my wife and kids in SC are just down the street.
Well thats it for now and I'll let ya know as soon as the men from Charlie 2/16 are safe at home. Back to the reality of real life in the real world. Until then.........
DEUCE DEUCE OUT!!!!!



UPDATE
Apparently we got out of there just in time as I came across this hot little article on yahoo. Rocketmiyah
