I have no idea how many miles I did in Afghanistan, but my biggest problem coming back was 465, 70, 65...

See our ROE was No civilian vehicle is to ever get into or stop a convoy. ROE Steps if that happens:
1. Designated vehicle pull along side use hand and arm signals.
2. Use your vehicle to push the other vehicle out of the convoy.
3. If they continue, use your weapon to disable the vehicle. Shoot the engine block.
4. If they continue deadly force is authorized.

So I get home and no one will get out of my way...my wife didn't like riding with me for like 3 weeks after, I'd get mad, get within inches of the vehicle in front of me and not understand why they didn't move. She finally said "it's because you don't have an effin 50 cal on top, slow down!"

Thanks to everyone else who has served, and mostly thank you to my brothers and sisters who didn't come home.

Ours too. Amazing how fast vehicles move after hearing a round from a ma deuce, LOL

Not to stray off topic too much, but I would agree. The old saying "There are no atheists in a fox hole" has a modern version of "There are no atheists riding in taxis in India."

After my 4th or 5th near head on collision with a truck, I decided that it was no longer in my control, and only the man upstairs could bring me home safe.

There are many agnostics in fox holes

Mosul, HMMWVE

When were you in Mosul? I was there in 2003 with C Co 3/327inf. In Ar Ramadi 2006, The fight was much different. We shut our sector down to any vehicular traffic.

Isnt it? We used to threaten with our Ma Deuce as well, but for whatever reason, they were more scared when we drew pistols on them. More then a couple cars ran off of the road to get out of the way of a nine silly meter. But, hey, it worked.
We also used to gather up rocks on the top of the truck, for when kids would throw rocks at us, we threw them back. Guess who would take off running... Hahahaha, Man, those were some days.
