Funny this topic comes here and now. A buddy and I were just reminiscing this evening about our time IN KAF. We were both civilian employees. The story goes like this;
On a rather warm June night in 2010, a few of us were out sitting around chatting and having a good laugh. Right on cue, we had our typical rocket attack. Complacency at its best, the alarm sounded, none of us moved. Well one of the rockets hit about 20 meters away from us and tore through one of the buildings, the laundry (IIRC).
Anyway, we all kinda looked at each other and one of our crew a big guy of 6'4" 270lbs, screams out "Holy Hanna, that was close". At that point we were unable to head for cover as we couldn't stop laughing.
So there are certainly alternate words to use. I for one can be a very foul mouthed individual. I rarely swear around my wife, or my kids (all adults) but every so often I do. It is usually met with a though thrashing from my wife.
