so heres a small update. election day in afghanistan was the 18th of september. my platoon was in a blocking position, walking around and keeping taliban out of the area. we had only been out a couple hours, and we got into our first fire fight. i heard the loud "snap" sound and the buzz of bullets, then noticed branches inches above my head were being cut by the bullets. he played hide and seek with us, but later we pinned him down, and i dropped a round from my M203 right on him. later, we were ambushed from the side while we were in the open. i fired as i dove for cover, then started launching more high explosive grenades when i found out which direction to shoot. after two rounds, i sprinted for better cover. i had to step completely out into the open to continue firing, and finally killed him when a round made it throught the trees he was hiding behind.

later in the day, we took fire while inside a building. everyone inside ran to the roof and returned fire. the moment i poked my head up, bullets slapped the wall in front of me. i ducked down, flipped off the safety, and lit up the tree line again. an RPG hit the wall in front of my team leader less than 10ft from me, knocking him out and stunning me. after i checked him out and got the medic up there. when i got back up on the wall, the taliban was firing from three different tree lines, but our mortar teem was also dropping rounds right on top of them.

the final event was in vehicles as we escorted the ballots out of town...or tried to. we had just gotten to the edge of the villiage, and half of our guys got out to clear for IEDs (roadside bombs). they hadnt gone more than 50 yards when an RPG came flying from the high ground on the right, impacting just past the farthest man. as i spun my turret around to open fire on the wall where the tracers were coming from, more tracers flew at me from the buildings right above me. i opened up with the .50 cal machine gun, blowing off the top parts of the buildings. i didnt normally ride in this truck, and the normal gunner hadnt kept the gun clean. it jammed on me multiple times, forcing me to stand up under fire with bullets flying all around just to un-jam it. just as i finished fixing it, our platoon leader came over the radio yelling "LIGHT UP THE HIGH GROUND!!!" so i did just that. after a continuous burst from my weapon, sweeping back and forth across the wall where the multiple RPGs had come from, the fire stopped.

i dont think i have ever had so much fun in one day, and taken no casualties. in the end, i looked at my helmet and discovered one last thing. i looked because multiple people had shrapnel in their helmets and body armor, and chills went down my spine. i didnt catch any shrapnel, but i did have a bullet cut a piece of the camoflage helmet cover, only an inch from my head. i gotta say, after all that, its definitely good to be alive!
