Couldn't believe it
My friend TK and I were on patrol in some sand-covered craphole. Just had to sort out a civil disturbance with some couple who ended up killing themselves with a grenade, so not the nicest of days. Plus it was too hot.
We were stood there by the side of the road looking around for any insurgenty terrorist types when up drives some old gimmer and some kid I can only assume to be his grandkid, along with a couple of friends- a short white on and one camper than a weekend with the Scouts.

So we stop them, ask them a couple of questions and are told they're not the ones we're looking for! Clearly this old guy was trustworthy (being old and wizened looking) so we just let them pass. 2 days later and kablammo! Up goes the new base. Turns out the guys we let past were pretty key players in it all.

Ah, well. You live and learn. We're building up a new base now- and this one should be fully armed and operational before the building's even finished!
