I'll never forget one time in Iraq we stopped and spent the night in a tiny outpost. We got there at night and fueled up and then went to sleep. I slept on top of my vehicle which was parked about 50 yds from some type of artillery. I was sleeping good when I seen a blue flash and a huge explosion, I thought I was dead I thought it was a mortar landing on me. Scared the chit out of me.
In their infinite wisdom our Battalion was set up along the Cambodian border in a large open area. They had no clue that the water table was about a foot deep. They brought in a Battery of 105's, by the time they had fired a dozen rounds, the 105's had sank into the mud, that Chinooks had trouble lifting them out of the mud when we closed that crapper. LZ Billy only lasted about 4 days, before they moved us again.
