a VCP is a vehicle check point

we are Cav now, 90 percent of us are still infantry includeing myself, we do VCP's with squad elements that contain no more than 7 guys, that night we only had 5. anyway we are the first to find anything in along time. it may have to do with our AO because to be honest i never thought anything was going on out there and i dont think there are enough of them, eveyone knows that its shit luck finding something on a random VCP
alot of my platoon contains former active duty soldiers and you cant throw a rock without hitting a former Marine, they might not agree with how things are run here but its great because they really know how to make things work
