It was the best time in my 5 year career. 4 years hating life in disbursing, then recalled to a CAG unit to do CA stuff with a grunt ballalion and a mitt team.

I remember during the rip with Constantine, I was driving and he and my CO doing a left seat right seat. I was talking about Bad JuJu with IEDs, and how my camera was lucky because whenever I brought it and filmed, we never got hit. Whenever I forgot it, we almost always had TIC. Sure enough, I had my camera running and everything was running smooth. Then the batteries died halfway through the patrol and soon the Vic in front of us hit a small ied (non catastrophic).

"Major Constantine, Welcome to Khalidiya sir. Please make sure your team keeps their batteries charged."
