Best regards!
My posts are appearing and disappearing so I don't know if you can see them so we'll see.
My current problem is we have an embassy counselor but his concern seemed to be more checklist concerned than anything else.
My concerns are simple. I hear sirens. I hear them everywhere.
I hear the c-ram sirens everywhere I go. I hear that siren that says a round is about to land on my head when I hear a truck back up. I hear a round go off when my neighbor slams his door. I hear this now and I'm over here I'm absolutely terrified of hearing this when I get home with my wife and kids. I don't want my daughter popping a balloon and have me drop to the ground out of instinct.
Right now I can hear that stupid siren. It's not a good sound for a couple of reasons. The C-ram siren is attached to a radar system. The radar detects incoming rounds and sounds a siren if it's in your area.
The problem I had is for a while in my housing area the C-Ram has always seemed quiet. I didn't know how it worked...
It would go off and I'd drop to the floor, grab my body armor and throw it on while hearing a distant "THUD".
Not a happy thud, but a "Hi I'm a bad guy I'm delivering something bad somewhere but this isn't your time, don't worry about me!"
Good times!!!
Recently I heard the C-RAM loud and clear. It was awesome I thought they finally fixed it.
They didn't fix it. The round landed close enough to lift me off the ground and slam me down. nobody got hurt during that specific attack but from that point on I hear sirens everywhere. I hear any sudden noise as something bad and I don't know what to do.
