"rocket attack, rocket attack...ouch...ouch...oh, never mind."

Karki and I were driving home from clinic and decided to get something to eat. So we were driving down the road we found that it was blocked by a truck so we went down another street to another difac. After dinner we took the back way back to Camp Hicks and heard  the rocket attack alarm. We rolled down the window, heard a "boom" and the alarm reset and go off again, so we bailed out of the truck and headed for a bunker. It was dark and we were in unfamiliar territory. As we ran towards the "bunker" I turned on my flashlight at the last minute. It wasn't a bunker, it was a concrete structure to hold up a big antenna and it was surrounded by barbed wire. Oops, this could of been ugly. There were some other guys standing beside it, so we joined them for awhile, then headed back to Hicks. Another boom. Another alarm. We bailed out again. We realized that we were in front of the gate, so we made a pit stop at the bunker of the hotel across the street, waited. No more booms, so we headed into Hicks to "our bunker." Just as we got there, the "all clear" sounded. We had looked like John Belushi in Animal House" making a serpentine through the CHU's. Like the rockets would be fooled. Actually it was just a couple of fools trying to get home from dinner. Only in Afghanistan...
