switched from the s.e.a.l. group to the eod program. chase is a kid. he is my 22-year-old. i have a son the same age as him. i am the youngest guy and the hardest one to deal with, and he knew he could deal with me. i definitely know how to handle him, i think. i have been working all day. 200 miles east of griffin is a forward operating base kunduz. here, the rest of platoon 342 are clearing bombs for the army base mountain. and leaving is ricky tebow.
are you done? i guess sam is trying to tell you something. just playing with you, bro. despite teasing, matt s suggestion makes sense to ricky. the robot rolls down to the bomb carrying c-4 explosives. i can see the circle up on my right. it is directly on top of the chem light. bring the robot back and let s get the shot over with. the c-4 should detonate the ied, but nobody knows how big the explosion will be. ricky tells everybody to button up. make sure everybody that needs cover is covered. over. all right.
hopefully you are going home on a plane and not in a box. ricky s team rolls out with the security escort from the 10th division. the new team leader rides shotgun, and sam drives, and matt manages the gun and the robot. this is what afghanistan looks like. i remember. that s pretty good.
where taliban put it. he says i know we are the taliban and they put the fire crews on the ied. okay. where? can he show us? i have something for him to market with. if i give them lights, we can go back down at the roadblock. not on it, but near it. i am getting these duds to mark the area. hold on. ricky asked one of the farmer to mark the bomb and the fuse that would detonate it. when the farmer goes to mark the detonator, he freezes. hey, he is afraid if he throws it, it s going to blow up. tell him to come here. no, no, no.
were looking for even though we did not see it. that s a nice hole, dude. appears good 12 feet wide. and where war in life and death is decided by a misstep on a village road, the team rolls back knowing today they saved lives. we are en route going home. you did not give our team leader a shotout? ricky, did a stellar job today. all in all, a good day. best day we have had since being in country. don t jinx us. let s get back on base.
