Let's not even start to compare tours buds....last time I heard no one from your sqn was engaged by RPG fire or hit with IEDs. Was the camp rocketed...nope.
Can the sarcasm, suck it up and move on.
Wow! Where to start with this one..................
Well, first of all, I was in no sence being sarcastic or a smart ass. I'm not saying that guys on Roto 4 had an easy time because they were only in theatre for 4 1/2 months. Go back and read my post and I was answering a Q about being allowed to wear multiple medals for the same operation. (Essentially, it was the same answer YOU gave me when I asked it last September on this site and was quite satisfied with your explanation) So, needless to say, you get all offeneded because I answered the same question I had several months ago to another individual and take it as an attack on the Roto 4 guys. I apologize if my tone was interpreted as such, that was not the intent - my ONLY intent was to pass on information to another individual.
The "even though Roto 4 guys got 2 for only being in Afghanistan 4 1/2 months" was not a slight, but an emphasis on the fact that they switched theatres and operations. Again - my apologies
Now, I have to respond to your post. Don't misinterpret this, I'm NOT trying to compare tours and say mine was tougher or more dangerous than yours, but I take a great offence to your comments. YES, My Squadron DID have an IED strike. Call Sign 27B was completely destroyed and it's crew sustained injury, the fact that the HumVee was uparmoured saved that crews as**es. Just because they weren't RCD, they STILL were under the Squadrons control, doing the job for KMNB. Not to mention the several other IED and mine related incidents that accured throughout Kabul and to the KMNB personnel. There was an incident that also occured to a Patrol of RCD but I'm not going into that here. A German soldier was killed on my tour. No tour is the same, and again, I'm NOT saying my tour was more dangerous than yours, but don't try telling me that Roto 3 was all pie and the sky and then all of a sudden Roto 4 was frought with so much danger. No, Roto 3 was not some horribly dangerous tour with incidents occuring steadily, yes, it was an uneventful tour for the most part in the sense of minestrikes, IED's and rocket attacks, but s*** still occured.
