31st October

Just remember got paid yesterday, no chance of popping down the local for a few then! ”Bin Laden’s Brew, made with 100% blood of the infidel”, fuck 2 weeks here and I can feel myself going nuts.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, 2 platoon plus the Engineers left at 0830 this morning , the convoy headed west down the Neb toward CP Tolan. Just as they got out of sight of the super sanger round the bend, ‘BOOOOM’, fucking IED strike on the lead Mastiff, must have been a command wire IED, I was up in the super sanger at the time of the strike and it took me aback, I couldn’t believe it, up till this point I never believed they could get that close to us without us seeing, they must have figured out where the blind spots of the super sanger are. Anyway the lead Mastiff, and what a cracking piece of kit it is, v-shaped hull to defer the blast, just shrugged off the blast like, ‘Yeah cheers for that’, it was more like an inconvenience for it, bet Terry wasn’t expecting that? I bet Hezbollah (the Taliban leader in our AO) went back and said, ‘Yes we killed them all a great victory for us’, what a bunch of pricks.

Anyway a patrol is going out now and I’m on Sanger 1 now time to switch on, will report back after.

Patrol was okay, a bit…clicky, all the local’s fucked off as soon as the patrol set off, but no contact so a success in my eyes.
