At one point a US officer was seen scoping us out with binocs from inside a stairwell. I look at the mission timer and it read 3:00 and I had a bad feeling in my gut. So I pulled my whole squad off the defenses and headed north 200m. My squad was really confused and I told them just to keep quiet and overwatch. I was about to apologize to my squad for being paranoid then suddenly WHAM! JDAM hit directly on our position, destroying everything, 4 supply boxes, 10 sandbags, 2 50cal, AA and firebase. Was a very nice shot, was damn lucky that I pulled back. We never ended up rebuilding either cause our team was pushed back and we could not rebuild the position under fire, so we had to retreat.

Close calls like that are crazy. A while back, on Qwai, someone calls out "JDAM INCOMING MINE" on teamchat, and we all displace (apart from the one stryker manned by gunner-of-doom). About 20 seconds after it was typed, the JDAM comes down right where our entire squad had been standing, taking out the stryker. Luckily, we had all successfully displaced, and we repositioned to fend off an enemy attack numerically much larger than our force. I had hunkered down no more than 15m from the epicenter, but I had rolling hills all around me.
