I remember mortars coming in at one point, and it felt to me like everything was rattling, like the pipes were rattling or something like that.

I was sleeping on a cot in this room.

There were no lights, no electricity.

And I was like, what's going on here?

And I came out, and there were two soldiers just sitting there.

Sitting there.

The building had been rattling, you know.

I think we're smoking.

And they were just sitting there like this, you know.

And I'm like, what's going on?

You know.

I'm like, and they said, oh, the mortar's.

You know, mortar's coming in.

Just another day.

Yeah.

They were not, I mean, if they weren't going to freak out, you know, and like, okay, everybody's out, we're going into the bunker or whatever.

But they weren't.

It was a routine, and they could tell how far away they were by the noise, you know.

So they knew that we were, at that point, this was kind of a routine thing.

Bad guys out there throwing the mortars in at this time of night, you know, kind of thing.
