Route Recce
It was very hot, surprisingly dusty, and cramped. We went right down the entire length of Route Irish (Maxim’s most dangerous road in the world). One radio crapped out, one explosion in the distance (not aimed at us). Otherwise uneventful. I am going to shower.
I was somewhat surprised that we only had two humvees instead of three. And no fifty, but I guess anything higher than 7.62 is overkill in a city. We didn’t fire any weapons though.

Oh My God - I think he answered that one about 4 times. Yes, the hill is in Slayer.
You two are so funny. Yes, it's a part of Camp Slayer. And no, we only have to wear the whole get up (Battle rattle, they call it) when we go off post.
And it's not only hot, but heavy and stinky too. But I promised some important people that I'd wear it....
Do you wear the protective cup too?
