Muddy Mess Part 2



So its been raining on and off here again for the last few day and this shit sucks ass. I mean i it sucks. We had a mission to another FOB the other night and it started raining on the way there. It wasn't that bad at first then the rain started to come down like crazy. When we were tracking through the check points the truck was starting to slide sideways a little. The only good thing is that I'm in one of the better if not best off road vehicle that we have. So after playing the slip and slide a few times we made it to the FOB. Once in the gate they asked us to part the vehicles on the side of the road. The mine roller that was in front of me turned off of the road and started to slide off into a ditch. Soon after it did. Once in the ditch the truck moved back and forth like a fish out of water trying to get out of its trap. Finally after a few minutes of moving back and forth the truck managed to break free of its muddy trap. The rain continued most of the next day which made the ride back just as fun as the ride there.
