"He better be fixing that fuckin' light"

Well I survived another convoy here in lovely Iraq. When I got back to Cropper there was a convoy leaving out right away so I hoped on it. I road in the back of the MRAP and this time I

got to put on a headset and listen to the Soldiers as we traveled. They were very good and alert on all the activity happening along the way. Every person/vehicle/animal that was near us they watched to make sure there was nothing that would harm our vehicles.
Along the way there was a guy on a light post. I heard the guys spot him and they were worried he may be faking the light fixing in order to throw a "parachute bomb" into out vehicle. The gunners get the guy in their sights and watch him until we get pass. The title of this entry is what I heard them yell in the headset. I found myself watching too out of the window.
I was really impressed with the convoy guys. I felt pretty safe or as safe as could be expected.
