So we've got now our team corpsmen and medics and stuff over there working on those guys. And we're stuck on this switchback just getting lit up from RPGs and PKM and AK from somewhere. And some of them are like, where are these coming from? But we had some turret guns. We had some 40-mic guns up on the Humvees that were just super powerful weapons.

So we were able to suppress that pretty comfortably. But while that was all going on, we're still getting all these pop shots on the trucks from somewhere. And the guy's like, where is this from? So I'm like, fuck, I hop out of my, we're stuck. We're not moving right now. So I, the guys are just staying inside because you can see them landing around us. So I, I, and there's this big mount.

There's this big like ridge off to my left side. And we're, we're driving up around the switchbacks and, So I go, man, I go, and I just happen to always carry my 300-win mag, and I used to get made fun of for carrying it up in the mountains because it's just huge. So I had other buddies of mine, like, God damn it, that fucking thing keeps bonking me in the helmet and shit.

And I'm like, well, walk away from me somewhere, you know? I'm carrying this thing. And actually, there was another op where I used it, and we killed some bad guys that were launching mortars on us, you know? Four of them. And I'm like, I'm the guy who got to go do that because I had the long gun, you know? So it was always worth it to me, hucking that thing around.

This is my favorite gun, .300 Win Mag. And so I pulled that thing out of the back of the truck. I get it kind of set up. I had a big pouch full of rounds, and I go get under the hood of the thing, and I got a turret gunner up there, another guy that passed away from a brain tumor after I got out. And so, but at that time he was up there on the turret and we had suppressed a fire.

There wasn't much going on anymore except for these guys shooting pop shots. And I thought it might be from up there, 900 yards up on this ledge. So I get out and go, hey, dude, Zach, can you spot me? You know, I'm gonna shoot, I'm gonna look up there. So I look up there, I go, there's six guys up there. I can see their little heads and they're like shooting AKs over at us.

Not very effective though. It's still landing around us, but it's 900 yards away, our AKs, you know? And I'm like, all right, dude, I'm gonna start shooting back. So I start loading rounds and I'm like, if I miss over the top, it's just a little, just a little, you know, heads. And so I'm like, and they're going to snap over and those guys, they're going to go off. Right. And like, that's fine.
