good balance. good balance. let it go and lean back. all right. come on down, brooke. i m a little nervous. lean back. push off. all right. slide down. go right down below kirsty, all right? i was an aerial gunner on a .50 caliber machine gun. you were the gal hanging out the door with the big gun. yes. the actual day of my crash, the last thing i remember is the crew in the back calling for power, and i remember wearing my night vision goggles and look at the ground. all i had time to think is this is going to hurt. see went in for her amputation and they cut her
caliber machine gun. so he runs back to the barracks through a barrage of enemy fire. i remember entering the door and a lot of yelling. i remember sergeant hill telling everybody to be quiet. carter returns and he s very sweaty, very tired. and he said that we need to know who needs what. and i caught my breath. that s when i yelled, everybody needs everything. carter grabs lubricant for the machine gun and ammo. right then sergeant francis asks me where i was going. i told him and he said no, you can t go there, you ll get killed. carter runs the deadly gauntlet a third time. i used cover as i went. this wasn t a straight shot anymore. every time i would sit behind something, another explosion would go off so close. it s like it s time to move. i got across and i opened up the door and giagos, mace and larson were in the vehicle.
