As the helicopter blades raced round and round above me the tension and silent atmosphere in the cabin could be cut with a knife. Me and squadron 51 were ready to parachute down into the Afghan desert, the drips of sweat that dribbled down my face was agonizing, time seemed to stop as the moment came up when my number would be called. "B1, your up" said my platoon sergeant, as he kitted me out with my various ammo, grenades etc., all the essentials needed for a mission like this. My objective of Operation GVB was to track down the prime suspect Osama bin Laden, and capture him, dead or alive! The exhilarating jump down to land was nothing like the training simulator, a lot scarier, but if I thought this was worrying then I had quite a few frightening moments to come.
The landing was routine, and now I was to decide how my weapon training could compare to the real thing. We are on our fronts crawling along the sand, approaching the Taliban enemy base which is where our intelligence units suspected bin Laden is in hiding. We were seconds away from our surprise raid when, through the radio, we are abruptly put on hold, and as I looked behind there was standing a young sheep herder no older that 10 staring at us in out bullet proof uniform, amazed by the site of live ammunition and firearms. As soon as I made eye contact with him he turned and ran, not regarding his herd of sheep. If we were to go by the book, he would have been killed, as it was possible he could leak information about our whereabouts and foil the possible surprise attack. At that precise moment though it didn’t seem the right option, as he was not believed to be a threat so we let him go.
