 This is my life, and this is my life This is my life, and this is my life Hey, my name is Lance Corporal Jeff West. I'm from Los Angeles, California. I'm part of golf company second battalion fifth Marines We're waiting on the flight deck and Get he loaded in by ospreys Well with all our packs and stuff. It's it's extremely cramped like the seats aren't even Really made for somebody to sit on your legs start to fall asleep and they're trying to stay awake and you hear all this All this noise is coming from the Aircraft and they're just like what's going on just waiting to get off and then finally about a couple hours later. We finally hit the deck and started operation. So we just started a movement and Patrolled to our next destination our next checkpoint We had tanks roll up with us as well, and we have several assets helping us out air support and such eyes in the sky and When we started taking contact from around 600 meters off and Couple of my buddies were on the roof and some of the other guys were on the roof as well Tanks are on each side of our building as we're taking contact We all heard like cracks over our heads and impacts around us and stuff like that just taking cover and trying to find a better spot to engage and After my buddies put a couple of tracer rounds in that area the tanks start opening up with their 240 coaxial guns and their main guns But when the main main gun opens up a thing is Insanity it's just it shakes everything you can see all the overpressure just Going out all over the place and it knocks the wind out of your lungs and stuff like that And you're just like then you know and you look down the rain down range and you see freaking just Whole walls just collapsing and buildings like thanks We love our tanks
