"Today was another hot, windy, dusty day. The same as many other days, with the exception of it being punctuated by a couple of mortar rounds landing on the FOB where I now reside. They shook the building that I was in, but the one that landed somewhat close, about 1 km away was a dud. The one that shook the building landed and detonated about twice as far away. Luckily no one was hurt."
