Nothing like hanging a round.... 11C toughest job in the INFANTRY!!! always felt it for Charlies carrying base plate, The Gun, rounds plus gear and kit. Made me, as a Medic think twice when I consider my gear heavy.
IDF is always nice to have around. Until they test fire a counter-battery mission and don't tell anyone. Which in turn sends an entire camp running for cover because the charges were barely enough to send it between Camp Bucca and Um Qasr.
I miss the field. My wife always said that I was not working but playing soldier, just like a kid. I argued. Now that I am retired I think she was correct.

This weather reminds me I'm happy I'm not out there with only a damn poncho liner. I've turned soft. Would be hard to take the cold again. Kudos to the great young men serving.
