No Kidding There I Was…FOB Salerno Bazaar

by A SOFREP Reader · October 27, 2012 · Posted In: No Kidding There I Was
Salerno-bazaar-sofrep

One fine morning (about noon since I worked through the periods of darkness) I was observing our nice easy Sunday schedule, which meant I had one hour of free time before reporting for duty to go to the PX, bazaar, or Green Bean Coffee shop.  I decided to go to the bazaar to have a cup of tea with my favorite local national shop keeper and let him rip me off on some pirate movies.

As I got close to his shop, which was a conex box stuffed full of cheap, Made in Pakistan, items, I noticed a commotion behind the row of shops next to his.  A group of Pashtun local nationals were gathered in a circle taking whacks at something with these long lengths of pipe.  Foolishly, I decided to go see what was going on back there.  I walked into the fracas and noticed they had surrounded a Bengal monitor lizard and were trying to kill it.

I knew the locals were afraid of the lizards and there were plenty of them running around the area.  What was funny was the Pashtuns were too afraid to get close enough to actually hit the thing.  I’m no PETA-type animal lover but the things were harmless and I guess I felt sorry for it.  I mocked one of them for being afraid and asked why he didn’t just walk up to it and grab it by the neck.  He looked at me like I was crazy, then he asked me why I didn’t go and grab it by the neck.  With this obvious challenge to my manhood, I accepted, foolishly since I didn’t know jack shit about lizards or how to handle them.  I walked into the middle of the astounded group of would be lizard killers and snatched the thing up by the neck and tail.  They were shocked but not more shocked than me!

Feeling all full of myself, I decided to take a victory lap in the bazaar and show off my new pet.  I brought the lizard to my shop keeper friend and he nearly shit himself.  I suggested we take a picture with it and insulted his manhood enough to make him go for it.

We had a bunch of the locals gathering to watch…from a safe distance I might add.  After we took the pic, I let the thing go in the middle of the man-jam clad Pashtuns and started the first annual Khost Steeplechase as they ran for their lives.  (The faces are blocked out for PERSEC)

Funny story, when I was at FOB Salerno furing last few months of my stint, I chased after one in the conex yard... it took off and once it felt cornered son of a bitch turned around and ran at me... I pulled out my side arm and almost shot the thing... I pretty sure a few drops of pee came out at that instant... all the guys were laughing when they saw it turn around and give chase... very stupid decision...

 @dickftr @StormR Maybe this could be an annual SOFREP fundraiser? Running With The Lizards to raise money for Charity. Heck, I'd rather do the Lizard run than "the running with the bulls" anyday. Just watch out for PH2 and AW and Recon 6, I think they have ways of making suer the Lizard wouldn't get them. I'd pick Storm as my Lizard Battle Buddy. No LIzzard would get up in her hair, thats for sure:-)

 @LauraKinCA  @Old PH2  @StormR I am thinking of spiling the lizard water. Female (USAF-uppers) pills for the fast runners Lizzards; Male pills (ambien/valium) pills for ours. Think about it, they run faster and if their Lizards are going all bonkers and ares are asleep, we might have a chance. WE should bring mororcycles. Nobody said no 2 wheelers. Storm has her cane, she can knock a few top runners down, we can lob over them. This will take planning. Running with the Lizzards is no joke.

 @StormRThose lizards are golden, they should have been on the payroll for all the rats  they eat. The AAFES opened the day before Christmas and it already had a rat  that was the size of a beagle, I think someone named it Donnie Most or somthing  like that and it would have given that lizard a fight. I heard later that same  rat was seen at Firebase Shkin walking off with a whole Pot Roast MRE, which in  itself was a valuable commodity.

 @ArcticWarrior My son raised rats for a while.  He volunteered to watch his 5th class mascot 'male'  rats during the summer.  Clearly the teacher was not a biology teacher because in no time at all we many cages of rats.  I still have nightmares about the experience.  The rats, however, disappeared after a well-thought, well-executed escape attempt.  And that's the story I'm sticking too...the rats escaped...all on their own...with no help from me and a couple of male friends.

    • In the IDF, 'Lonely Soldier' is a term that describes soldiers serving on active duty who have no family is Israel. These are volunteers that came to serve for 3-5 years. They typically go back to their respective countries upon completion. Most commonly, these are people who immigrated to Israel by themselves. I was one of them. While in Israel, I lived in an apartment building where the majority of people were lonely soldiers. It was located on the outer ring of Jerusalem, surrounded by four Arab villages. My roommates were two recon guys (like me) and one who worked in field intel. All of the other inhabitants were soldiers from various units, with most of them serving a combat role. It was a well known thing, especially to the Arabs in the village. Most of the time we wouldn't be there, but when we were on leave, we would come to the apartment for a little R&R. It was rare that the four of us were there at the same time, but once in a blue moon, it did happen. Each village had, as is customary, its own mosque. When the time for prayer came, the loudspeakers would call out to the faithful. It was OK, we were used to it. However, over the weekend they would make it a point to play the call to prayer very, and I mean VERY, loud. They knew soldiers would be in the building trying to get some sleep - recovering from several weeks in the field. This always annoyed me but there was nothing I could do. On this particular weekend, after an intense seven weeks of non-stop ops, all I wanted was to go to the apartment, sleep, eat, sleep some more and then sleep again. That weekend the four of us were at the apartment and we were all equally tired. We arrived Thursday night and after a small dinner and some beers, we went to sleep. At 0400 we all jumped.... The freaking loudspeakers at all four mosques began their call to prayer at full blast. Fuck.... We spent the remainder of the day trying to rest and every time we would fall asleep, again... The call for prayers, full blast! Over lunch, we all looked at each other and knew this had to stop. We came up with a plan. I know it wasn't nice, but at that point we couldn't care less about political correctness. Here's what we did. After some recon that night, we noticed that the call to prayer wasn't performed by an Imam or some other person with a microphone. It was a tape recorder that used a tape. We figured the four of us, experts in stealthy infils, could sneak in and steal those tapes. However, while we were planning the different infil routes for each village, we all smiled and did something better. We recorded Metallica's 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' on repeat on all four tapes and then waited till midnight. At midnight, each one of us - armed with a Metallica tape - headed to a different village. All dressed in black, we were careful not to be seen. We entered into the buildings and exchanged the tapes. We rallied back to the exfil point, a crossroad not far from the last village and headed back to our apartment. And then we waited... At 0350 we went to the roof with some coffee, opened some field chairs and waited for the show to begin. At 0400 sharp the first "call" came alive, full volume: Make his fight On the hill in the early day Constant chill deep inside ... Take a look To the sky Just before you die It's the last time he will Followed by the next, then the 3rd and 4th joined in. Full volume Metallica! Soon after, we heard sirens headed to the villages. I don't know what happened after that, but we had our own private concert, right there. No kidding, there I was... Metallica call to prayer

      No Kidding There I Was… Metallica Call to Prayer
