Busy, Busy!

Things here have been pretty busy lately. Seems like the work comes in bunches. When it rains, it pours type of thing I guess. For the most part, there have been no major incidents, just a ton of "small" ones. This has most likely been the busiest week since I have been here. We've had about a dozen minor traffic accidents, none with inuries;

.50 cal round went off on the airfield. Shrapnel from the explosion hit a guy in the leg. Luckily his injuries werent too bad. The final investigation states the cause of the round going off as static electricity. The round was in an ammo can and apparently "just went off". There have been a few skeptic of the static electricity theory, but I'm none the wiser. I do know the round was manufactured in the early 80's, might have something to do with it.;

An older gentleman, working as a civilian contractor had a heart attack and died over here yesterday. The one positive thing to take from that is the mans son also works out here, so they were able to spend time with each other.;

LOST WEAPONS! They need to tie these weapons to these soldiers. They leave them laying all over the place. There are about 3 of these a day. I hope they aren't leaving them laying around up north too.;

Lastly, we had a soldier go streaking through the female shower trailer. He would of gotten away with it, but he saw one of the girls that was in the shower the next day and walked up and apologized to her. She called us and gave us his name. Turns out it is the second time this guy has done this. Hopefully they kick him out.

So thats the quick rundown of the last 5 days. I'm expecting things to slow down over the next 2 weeks or so.
