10 NOVEMBER: In the LRP

"-Z-Z-R-R-R-R-E-W-W-W-BOOM
“DAMN! That shit was CLOSE!” A single mortar round exploded in our LRP. So much for being on the safe side of the berm. The sound was incredible. I don’t know where they got that whistle sound in cartoons that bombs make when they drop. This sounded like the mortar round was ripping the sky open. The air was actually tearing. Imagine you are standing on the ground, and an elevated passenger train just zipped on its tracks right over your head. That was similar to the shocking and rushing, whooshing feel of the shell zipping by us before it impacted. Fortunately it didn’t hit anybody. So nobody panicked"
