So Close but so Far Away

"The last couple of days have been really busy. 2nd Platoon's done there left and right seat rides and traded places with our replacements. We've turned in our gear and other equipment. Today me and my roomie just finished field daying our room. Earlier this morning Val and I were out burning left over junk when suddenly the incoming alarm went off. The burn barrel was only mere feet from the bunker so both of us calmly made our way to the bunker. That is until the rocket landed on the other side of us and a huge chunk of shrapnel made a whirring sound as it flew over our heads. We then leaped into the bunker and started laughing. Even though we are not going out anymore we are still dodging rockets. Once again Simmons comes up lucky as he was running for the bunker the guy running behind him got hit with a piece of shrapnel, on the 28th Simmons vehicle was hit with an EFP, before that an incoming rocket landed right behind him as he was coming back from the shrapnel. Note to self, stay away from Simmons the remainder of the time I'm here."
