"yay, they're shootin, that was pretty close" BAM!!!!! "Oh that was really close" No shit FUCKSTICK! Maybe you should actually take cover when the multi-million dollar computer controlled alarm system says "Incoming" *shaking my head* Did you just get in the Army yesterday or what? You should be embarrassed that you're even heard in this video.

You stupid fucks, lets stand outside and see if we can see something blow up. when you know a bunker is no more than 20 feet away. So you are the people who cause the army to make everyone get briefed on shit that should be common since

@poopietim 06-08 / 09-10 / 11-12.... When is the last time you were there pal?

[poopietim]

@awAdmin if you have ever been there then you could say something.

I can't say I miss the sounds of the incoming alarm. Heard them a bit at Delta and Echo near the end of the war, haha.

surprised to see this put up in 07'. Was there in 05/06, at a large fob too, and we had sirens but they didn't go off till after rounds had landed. Certainly not an incoming detector or phalanx. Was always nice to hear the Apaches go out though, then you knew it was over for real.

@Sparatan117 There was still a system up somewhere, I worked down at the gate and when we were driving home from work one day we all noticed the systems on the hilltops were down and thought that was weird, but both attacks after that brought incoming alarms.

I am one to take cover and have been in this situation more times than i can count and still in the same situations to this day but that was one of the biggest displays of complacency i have ever seen.

@jordanwarvideos lol, and then also 3 days prior to us leaving we noticed that the system stopped all together. And that the radar truck had been packed up and was gone. It was a like a coordinated F*@# across the base lol

@Sparatan117 We headed out on Nov 10th and you're right, it was like a ghost town. We got a pretty nice send off though. Mortars on the 9th and 10th, all of them fairly close. I think that the best week that I was there was the one where the CRAM was down for maintenance, no running to the bunker for bullshit that week.

@jordanwarvideos November 9th? I wanna say. 6-17 left and then we did the day after. Main post was like a ghost town.
