>>8564104one time one of our patrol bases was being attacked by taliban, lots of hostiles, they also lit a lot of the farm fields around the base to obscure our FLIR capabilities on our eye on sky. so they called for reinforcements and arty, by that time i was already on the radio pushing out our QRF mobile mraps to the scene and communicating with geronimo HQ. since they called for arty, our designated arty guy got on with geronimo and asked for some explosive ordinance rounds and gave them coordinates and stuff. geronimo sent the rounds, waited a few seconds, round impacted, missed the hostiles, arty guy made adjustments, geronimo sent another one, missed. after all the action, our XO spoke to the arty guy, do you know how much us tax dollars you just waiting on just two rounds? its roughly like 80,000 dollars on hitting nothing.
