I have to take over.
So as a Bravo team leader, now we're going to go in front and lead the way, but I have no idea where I am.
No, because this guy was kind of being a baby about it.
And I was like, all right, you can wind around in the dark for the next six hours.
I'm not going to do that.
So we have little Garmin GPSs.
The squad leader straps it to my wrist.
He's like, you know how to use it?
I'm like, nope.
He's like, well, there's an arrow on it.
Just follow the arrow.
It tells you how far, like, you know, 800 meters to go.
You can't mess it up.
And I definitely messed it up.
So after this mortar position, we have about a 10 minute walk to meet up back with the platoon.
And then I'll be in the back again and just follow them all the way to the village.
I can't mess it up for this 10 minute walkabout.
And again, it's rough terrain.
It's slow moving.
I'm leaning this out and I'm just looking at my wrist, holding it in front of me, following the arrow.
