I finally was able to post these videos. These are a couple videos made while I was over in Iraq. The 16 Apr firefight, you can’t see much but you can hear the rounds cracking overhead as well as us firing M-203s at the insurgents. We were prepping a munitions cache for demo, I’m the one playing with the C-4 and blasting cap before the fight, you can also see my M-4.
16 Apr Firefight
The 8 may fight-arty mission is better, but my buddy’s helmet cam got weird at the end.
8 May firefight
Last one is arty mission we called in on 27 may, again you can’t see much but you can hear the arty rounds coming in.
27 may Artillery Mission
Now be advised that there is some Swearing in the videos (you hear me drop the F-bomb a few times) but there aint anything like dead bodies or such, I wouldnt post that kind of thing. But this might give some of you a quick look at what combat can be like.

Methinks you shoulda seen 'em two months ago when they was current. IMHO they were great, eh?
Noonanda,
I couldn't see the videos - obviously, because the links aren't working. But I really hope you keep yourself safe over there.

They caught what it's like in the heat of combat. Most the time ya don't know what's going on, but ya just keep going.
