MASS CASULTY DRILLS II

29MAR07. Thursday. So, there I was last night. Sound asleep. Knowing full well that someone would wake me for the Mass Casualty Drill. Sure enough, three-hours into my slumber, Sirens Sound, and a guy runs through the Hootch waking the Mid-Shift Folks. So, I get up, don my Kevlar, get my weapons and head for work. Arrive there and stare at my colleagues for a couple of hours. Then back to the Hootch. Sleep for 2 additional hours, then off to work. A pretty insignificant drill. During our Shift Turnover, I was informed the “Drill” was actually a couple of rockets fired into the compound. So, we were responding to an actual real-world event. Too Funny. You just can’t make this stuff up. Well, that was the highlight of my evening. Hope yours was a little more restful. Take care and will update when I can. Doug
