11th November

Just chilling on a bed in Bastion thank fuck! Had a buckshee day in Qudrat, staged on 0530-0830, and that was my day until 1645. Merlin came in and got us out of the CP and I tell you what running on the back of that chopper knowing there’s no stag for two weeks, I was grinning from ear to ear. Before we left a kid got brought to the CP by his old man in a wheelbarrow, and I shit you not his leg looked like the elephant man, like a tree trunk. Poor little fucker was in clip.

Well we did what we could for him medical wise but we couldn’t do fuck all as we were just a CP, not exactly a medical hub. So the Boss gave the bloke $100 and told the bloke to head to Lash’Ka Gar. Anyways not my problem, so we were skimming the desert floor in the chopper everyone was smiling because we were heading home. Got back handed in weapons to the armory, had a good scoff, and a hot shower, now just laying down writing this knowing there’s no chance I’m getting woken up for stag, so it’s now 2200 and I’m going to get a night’s undisturbed sleep.
