So I was playing XBOX, eating dinner, when a large explosion rocked the base. The CO and the XO were in the room at the time, we all scambled to the ground, and immediately put on our gear and ran to the TOC to find out what was going on. I thought it was a Mortar explosion right on base, or an RPG hit one of the towers or something. It turned out that an EFP (Explosively formed Penetrator), the nastiest of IEDs, hit one of our Bradelys on one of the roads that border our base. After a few minutes, we found out that everyone was okay, except for a 3rd degree burn on the back of the driver. The Copper projectile ripped though the armor, through the vehicle battery, and stopped just short of entering his body...
An EFP also struck our logistics convoy a few days ago, everyone also came out fine from that incident. The explosion was about a mile away, but it was so loud we could clearly feel and hear it on base.
Iranians... they are making most of these bombs, seems like we mind as well be at war with them.
