The [Cougar] JERRV has saved my life once again as an RPG hit the truck right where my head was. We can't get the door open yet, so we have to take it to the shop tomorrow. I'm okay except for my team member, who got knocked down from the turret and landed hard on his [rear]. But he is just happy it's only a bruised tail bone.
Well, that was my excitement today - hope your day went a little smoother than mine. Just be sure that you and everybody you work with know how grateful we are for all your work so we can make it to another day.
