“Smits, Wake up we need to go for our walk” Bill Said as he was shaking me awake. It was like this every morning get woken up by Bill at six o’clock, Do our 30 minute sentry walk and then go to the gym or work on the vehicles for an hour before we go again. “Please Bill, Can I have one more minute” I asked him in my tired voice but the answer to that was getting pulled from my bunk and landing heavily on the concrete floor with a thud. Looking around as I was getting up I spotted my Uniform on the other side of the cabin. "Dude we need to go right now! I’ll go and get our guns from the armory and when I get back you better have your cloths on" Slowly and finally I was up and getting my cloths on, and just on time as well because Bill walked in holding two M4A1 Assault rifles with M203 grenade launchers under neath. “Come now, were late” Bill said turning around and walking out the door with me following him right behind. Coming out of the homelike cabin into the Australian ‘Army Zulu’ base in Iraq is a big difference, The heat goes up 30 degrease and your suddenly looking at five meter high wall with barbwire at the top with Snipers towers on the main corners of the compound. There was a medium sized Air field on the other side of the base that held a couple of helicopters, some fighter jets and the all important 200million dollar AC-130 Spectre Gunship. And right in the middle of the compound there was the Nuclear Weapons cache.

When we had got to the main gate we had to sign a paper to say that they were going for 30-40minutes. Walking around the fence for 30minutes was pretty boring, we were ment to walk five meters from the fence but today I was really tired so this time I was sticking as close to the fence as I could. “I cant wait until I get a promotion from a private” Bill muttered under his breath like he was reading my mind. Just at that moment the ground seemed to open up and I feel through a sheet of rusty aluminum covered in rocks and sand. “Shit, What is this” I said looking at Bill just standing there staring at me “Umm... I think we should call for some help” Bill said as he ran over to me and pulled me out. I decided to move the sheet of aluminum to the side to see how big the hole was while Bill was on the walkie talkie to the command center.

It didn't take long for it to become a code red security risk and the put the AC-130 in the air and a convoy of two tanks and five Humvee’s snaked there way around to us while a helicopter transported some bomb proof suits and the head of security for the base. The Head of security had just been woken up and wasn’t at all happy. “What has happened here?” He grunted demandingly as he inspected the hole with a small pocket torch. I was about to tell him but Bill got there first. “We were doing our normal routine walk and Smits here, fell through the ground and into a hole” While Bill was talking some Humvee’s had arrived and everyone had started to stare at me “Seeing that you were the one to fall into the hoIe, I think you should be the one to go in” He said looking at me “And you can go in right after him” He added looking at bill. Two tough looking Americans walked over to us from the helicopter carrying bomb proof suits and small oxygen tanks. They didn't talk to us, they just dumped the gear in front of us and left. “Well, they’e nice” Bill said sarcastically. As we put our gear on The head of security got a satellite phone call. “Hello this is Scott speaking... OK can you send me the images... Yes I’ll hold my guys off for five minutes” Scott turned around and faced bill and I. “The AC-130 has used it x-ray vision and can see a tunnel going right into the Nuclear cache, It can also see a hidden buildi-” He didn’t finish his sentence because there was the thump of the AC-130s 105mm cannon hitting the ground a couple of hundred meters away. “OK, I guess you can go in now, there are no known people in there but take your guns to be safe” He said as he practically pushed me into the hole.

As soon as I had safely got into the hole Bill was coming down with the torch. I moved out of the way for him to take point but instead he pushed the torch into me and said “No way!” I knew there was know way to get out of this so I took the torch in one hand and I held my pistol in the other And started to walk into the now lit up tunnel. “Who dug this” I said after walking for about five minutes in silence. “I have no idea but it must of taken months” Bill replied. Just then my torch came across a ladder and being very careful with my pistol in front of me ready to shoot I started to climb up. “bill you did that bomb course at cadets ay?” I yelled down the ladder “Yes, Why?” he shouted back up. “Well get up here then” I shouted but he had already got the idea and was coming up the ladder. As soon as he was up he went strait over to the C4 bomb that I had found and he started to fiddle with it pressing buttons and using the screwdriver that sat next to it and then he finally turned around and talked into his walkie talkie “The bomb was found and defused”
