19. I think that was Hohensfels

I’d been there a couple weeks. My platoon sent me out with 1st platoon. Not only was I brand new, I was with a different platoon. A bunch of new guys in the back of a Bradley. We were told to just find somewhere to sleep. I found a spot on the deck with cover…..under the TOW missile launcher. I didn’t notice the light snow because of that. When a Bradley stops, the TOW launcher is raised. If they’d lowered it before I got up it would have crushed me.
Dumbass newbie stuff.
