Signs Along the Road...

OUR MARINE UNIT, deployed to Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Storm, was moving west on a road carved out of desert by Seabees and Marine engineers. Along the "Miracle Mile," we saw various signs bearing Marine abbreviations such as COC (Combat Operations Center). When we came upon DIP in large black letters, my driver and I guessed: Division Infantry Position? Demarcation Infantry Post?

Suddenly, our vehicle jolted violently, throwing equipment around the cab. As our heads hit the canvas roof, we looked at each other and yelled, "Dip!"
