Lil brother came back from Iraq

Postby Hoss » Mon Mar 12, 2007 12:01 am

Lots of stories and pics, videos he brought back. Remember he was stationed at the main medical facility in Iraq. Pics he and others took were for medical training purposes but I think would be disrespectful to post.

Something I thought was really kewl though. He talked about small arms fire and mortar attacks on the base all the time. Well the military has this neat little computer guided protection system against mortar attacks called a C-ram. They detect incoming mortar fire and automatically fire on the mortar round with incredible aggression and accuracy. He said sometimes there would be an alarm of incoming mortar and this thing would just go off. Other times it would just go off. One video is during the day of one of these going off. The other one is at night. Listen to the one at night...you can hear the mortar explode in air.
