Full moon must be early

The natives have been restless today...

1) Woke up to a fair amount of SAM (small arms fire) today. I hear quite a bit of gunfire as my CHU is right near one of the training ranges. I suppose the upside is that I can now distinguish range fires with shit going on outside the wire. Likewise, it is pretty easy to tell who is shooting at the larger caliber AKs etc that hajji uses make a much different sound than the M16/M4. Definitely not range fires this AM. I guess I can say I actually learning something during my trip here. lol.

2) Something big went off somewhere later this morning. I was outside taking a break and was not only able to hear it go off but I felt the pressure wave. Good times.

3) Three hours later the "incoming" alarm goes off...which normally is cause for a big yawn. Today, of course, I was taking a shower after chow and was walking back to my CHU in a towel and flip flops. Extra annoying.

My people need to talk to Brother Hajji's people to see if we can schedule a time for them to fire off all of their shit that is more convienient for me. Walking around in a towel and flip flops is a red line.
