So, our Team decides to go for Pizza instead of the dining facility. Just as we finished up the meal, we hear this woosh sound and immediately dive on the ground, while the soldiers around us look confused. They obviously didn't recognize the sound of an incoming rocket. Anyhow, it was a dud and we could see the impact zone about 75 meters away.
We run into the dining facility since it has this uber high tech multimillion dollar roof. Nobody inside had a clue what just happened. 10 minutes later, the "big voice" comes on and announces that we have "incoming" and pandemonium breaks out. People (mostly female I hope) were actually screaming as they ran FROM the facility to get in the concrete bunkers. We tried to tell them they were safer in here, but the "herd mentality" had already set in.
I look around to make sure nobody left any weapons behind and decided to return to my room. A little while later we hear a boom. Maybe another rocket, or maybe EOD earning their money.
It has been over three hours and no all clear given, and the folks are still stuck in the bunkers. This has to be the worse IDF drills I have ever seen from a unit.
The good news is that the internet is faster since everyone else is offline.
Oh well.... Happy New Year from Iraq!
