14-15 APRIL 2018

We didn't really do much these days.  We did some more exploring and battle hand off tasks.  One of the most eventful parts of the day is when the C-RAMS went off.  I am pretty sure it was for testing because there were no sirens.  For those that don't know what a C-RAM is they are machine guns mounted to a detection system to counter rocket and indirect fire (IDF).  I don't know how successful they are at shooting down incoming fire but they sure are loud.
The commander arrived and told me that Jaymo and I would be flying to Erbil soon.  We were to be attached to second platoon to assist them with vehicle and equipment maintenance.
