Funny Earthquake story
#1
So there I was, sitting at my desk last night at about 1:40 am. I was half way through my shift when I turned and started yelling at a Sergeant that sat next to me on my left. I told him, "get your boots down and stop kicking my desk". My computer monitors were moving, then my chair started moving, then my coffee cup almost spilled. The sergeant said, "it's not me" and he was freaking out. After about 10 seconds it stopped, then someone yelled we just experienced an earthquake. I guess it was just a tremor because it wasn't too strong. The actual earthquake had hit near the Pakistan border, and we just got the leftovers.
So now I can say I have been through my very first earthquake, in Afghanistan of all places.
One more thing to add to my list of things that can kill me over here hilarious

Be careful during those quakes. You're Airborne, and you're in a war zone. Do you really want to explain to your kiddies how you got a Purple Heart 'cause you fell off your chair and broke your coccyx bone in an earthquake? Heck, just be careful in general. I don't think that there are any good P.H. stories.

Never a dull moment over there. You stay safe, from all harm man made or not. We need you to come back safe.
