Looks just like Iraq, doesn't it?

This was our test-- a patrol through the woods and we get surpised by a guy dressed as an Arab carrying an RPG and an AK 47. Our task? To search him, put him in flex cuffs, and maintain 360 degree security, and then bring him back to base. I was lucky enough to be the ranking guy, so I was squad leader and didn't have to do the body search. They found a 9mm pistol, by the way.

By the way, this meadow was absolutely beautiful with red flowers, green grass... great day to be outside.

Glad you got to enjoy some of our nice weather and beautiful woods. Despite the ticks, it's a great time to be outside. Maybe it's not like Afganistan, but nice to be in a little slice of Heaven before you go there.
