Checkpoint Charlie

30.Mar.2006

We spent the entire day running through checkpoint procedures. I spent the entire day sitting in a bush watching a wasp build its nest. Man, this Victory Forge stuff is hard!

I was assigned to QRF (Quick Response Force), small groups hidden around the checkpoint called into action when the fecal matter hits the turbine blades. Problem was, all day long, IEDs and assorted OpFor would kill everyone before they could call for QRF. Well at least the rear QRF (me). It got so bad at one point I had to strike one guy with the buttstock of my rifle three times in the head before he woke up.

One day down, five to go. I feel my brain oozing out my ears.
