ONE OF MANY MORTAR ATTACKS I EXPERIENCED DURING MY IRAQ TOUR OF DUTY (2006-2007)

This is a repost. I had this video up a long time ago, and you can see this video on a couple other youtube pages. The person you hear speaking in this video towards the end about the ATOC building was my co-worker and friend Senior Airman Garcia. I worked with him at Ramstein, Germany, and also during our tour of duty at LSA Anaconda with the 332 Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron - Aerial Port Flight

GO REDTAILS!!!!

Bro..that system is classified that your showing in your video.

[millerusaf]

@gearguy0017 It's not classified in the least. Every single Iraqi knows the damn guns were there. BTW, the base is going bye bye real soon.

Go troll someone else's page, kid.

[FOBBITHUNTER]

Please refrain from giving the enemy any more information than they have currently.

It is a breach in OPSEC protocol to post this stuff.

You are one of the main reasons i hated that base. Whoo Hoo POG!

[millerusaf]

@FOBBITHUNTER There is no breach to OPSEC. The local Iraqis worked on that base and knew every inch of it. When the gun fired, every Iraqi could see it and hear it. You can see a 6 story tail of a C-5 miles away (not to mention you can hear the stupid things for a long distance too). The Iraqis have been pounding that base since 2004 and have known every single inch of it since then...lol.

[millerusaf]

155Millimeter, I see you are still watching all my vids and getting mad over them...lol.

I was deployed with the 721st AMOG DET 5 to Balad AB from Jun-Oct 06. There is a very big chance that was me with that C-5 I can hear in the back ground. This might actually be video of the CRAM saving my ass.

[tazmania52d]

there is no breach in opsec. the base is closed. i was with the 238th smc this past year and we closed it up.

[isabeljohnramos1]

is that what it's all about.... gloating? i dont know who you are and dont want to know all i'd truly and honestly like to know is did;nt you learn anything other than to show off what you lived over there? i might not be military but watching this type of things some of you post makes it seem like a war is a joke and that's the impression many young or ignorant people keep in their minds. a war is not a laughing matter and a soldier's life isnt either.

Fucking POG. GO enjoy a smoothie poolside up there at Balad

[Downsouthy]

@millerusaf Thats because it was the the iraqi air force main op station during saddams reign.

[Downsouthy]

Thanks USAF, Too bad on balad they have there own compound with the nice blue basketball court and the red thang ya seen thats no mortar my friend... That would be the C-RAM that is used to intercept the mortars that was which by my chu on the east side try sleeping next to that... No giggles then.. F#@$%&# POG

[FOBBITHUNTER]

@millerusaf Its not the weapon firing that is OPSEC, its your postings and commentary as to where you were located.
