PSP's...

So I sold that PSP I found on my 33 hour journey to some kid from BMXBoard who happens to be active in the army... I'm sure Gaska will be siked about the outcome of the PSP although the circumstances suck.

So.. I was coming back from the gym with my friend and along the way we stopped to talked to some guys from our tent. "You all are fat asses, eating pizza after your ruck march". About fifteen seconds of conversation followed.
We started walking back to our tent, which was about 30-50 meters away (or a good 15 second walk) when I hear a whistling/rocket noise. I look over and see a smoke trail and then a big explosion. A lot of debris and shrapnel come flying toward us and we start running towards the explosion. We soon realized it was our own tent and we ran towards it, despite some woman telling us to get in the bunker.

We get inside and the tent is filled with smoke, one of the Army Sgt's comes out with a phone and we start searching the tent. Two guys went down.. one with a broken leg and shrapnel all over his arms and legs. The other guy had shrapnel up and down his entire body. We eventually get them out and sent to the hospital. They survived and are doing fine, but were sent to Germany.

The room where I store my shit was destroyed. ..chem gear, clothes, etc. The friend I was at the gym with, not only was his room completely obliterated, but on fire too. My PSP I bought from sxebmx a week ago was in there. He's lucky he wasn't in the room because the rocket landed and exploded right where he sits.
Stoked on the guys eating pizza, if they weren't eating Pizza Hut.. me and my friend would've been fucked.

Even more fucked up... the night before my dumb ass stayed in my tent when a rocket alarm went off. I told my friend (the same day my tent was destroyed) that I slept through it and it didn't matter since 90% of the rockets don't go off. Six hours later my tent gets blown up...

Ever since ten we've been getting rocket attacked every night now. I'm just waiting for the next one tonight.

Even better news, they have found White Phosphorus in the rockets they've been shooting at us.

Moral of the story: Don't sleep through a rocket attack, your tent will get blown up.

edit:

So... there was a few Belgian news articles about the two Belgian soldiers affected (unaffected) by the rocket. The articles stated that the two Belgian soldiers "disregarded their own injuries and ran to the aid of American soldiers". There is a photo of the Belgians being unloaded off a C130 in stretchers in Belgium as their Prime Minister is giving a thumbs up.

Well... the real story is that the two Belgians were not injured at all.. they lived two tents down from us. The Army Sgt. was inside the tent and went to work the next day. The two Belgians stayed in the bunker the entire time and didn't do shit. As soon as they got to the hospital they were complaining about their back hurting and 'hearing loss'.

Big high five to Belgian news media.
