Military combat experience thread
>be me
>USMC 2336 E.O.D
>Second tour to Afghanistan
>Attached to Infantry Unit
>Not much action, go on patrol with Infantry every now and then
>Occasionally take care of IED's, never done it personally, I'm just in the vehicle when it happens
>Literally not much personal experience, but my unit is well kown
>One day hanging out in chow hall
>Orders to suit up, head out
>That's weird, usually they tell us before hand when we're going on patrol, and there's a briefing
>lovemypowerpoints.exe
>Getting ready, asking what's happening
>Huge threat, needs to be taken care of quickly, requires JTF
>"JTF? With who? The SEALS?"
>So I've heard."
>"Why are they calling us, why not someone who's already out and about?"
>"No idea."
>Getting briefed on the way there
>Apparently there's a national crisis, EOD teams are needed, and infantry is called to hold the area while SEALS take care of "the issue"
>Not very clear what's happening, but it's obvious people are worried
>We're getting closer, explosions, and scattered gunfire, M4's and M249's but no AK or RPK
>It's like an action movie
>We pile out, infantry departs, the rest of the EOD guys are told to move somewhere else and get working
>IED's and booby traps in and on the way to the house
>lol he said booby
>Clear it
>SEALS are already here, their very presence is calming
>One of them points at the guys next to me
>"We've got the location on watch, you two move up, and clear anything in our way so we can get to the house, the rest of you, help provide cover."
>We're getting closer to the house, hear loud screaming, like some spoiled kid is throwing a tantrum
>Watching the house, two marines move up looking for IED's, they find one
>One guy asks "Why don't we just use the bots? It's much safer than sending our own guys out th-"
>I see one of the guys flail his left arm and fall to the ground
>HOLY FUCKING SHIT HE'S DOWN
