So you're riding down the street in this state of the art armored vehicle that virtually nothing the enemy has can hurt. You and five of your friends and you are going to jump out and get into harm's way and that's that. You've got the drill down, you're excited, you're motivated, some of you have stupid grins - that's who hasn't done this before. Then, tink, spink, tink tink, spaaaang, tink. Huh.. they... they're shooting at us. And your guts get cold and have I checked my weapon enough and how long til the ramp drops and is my gear tight and shit the ramp's down go go go left or right left or right. Eventually the loudness is a just a different kind of quiet. You cold be dead or hurt at any moment so, really, you're just alive right now and a weird kind of animal focus comes on. I don't know. I know guys who had that 'oh fuck oh shit' freak out reaction but for me it ended up more like the beginning of winter when everything is tight and sharp and quiet.

I'm not a soldier, I just want to say thank you to all the soldiers in this thread. You are doing your country a great duty. Edit: Unless you're serving in the Syrian Army.

I'm surprised at all of the responses. If you weren't with me and my boys, nothing I can say will ever justify experiences. If you want to know, go do it yourself. The nature of the patrols and operations are for those who have been there.

It is loud, confusing, and has a lot of oh shit moments.

I'm pretty sure this isn't something you can convey via text. Kind of like describing the taste of water.

For me, it was exactly what I thought it would be. It was almost like being reborn the first time.

Pretty much what everyone else has said.... Very hard to describe. You try not to, but you get tunnel vision. Also, killing someone isn't glamorous and they don't die in slow motion either. Nothing is worse than killing a kid because he's planting a roadside IED... Such a waste of life.
