Try explaining that to your First Sergeant

  1. Be advised, no explanation you give is going to be good enough.

    1. Then he better have a very good explanation for his First Sergeant and be prepared to pay big bucks when they come out with a statement of charges against his dumb ass.

  6. Eastern European of some flavor. Most of the sites with the picture are in Russian. Both are also wearing pistols under their left arms, at least one pistol lanyard. That black web gear looks like someone found a sale on Uncle Mikes at Wal Mart.

    A translation on one of the Russian sites said the rifle had been wedged behind a tank cannon. No attribution on that though.

  7. Turret casualty. See the pistol holsters? They're DATs...

  8. I had a brand new M249 SAW get wrapped around a tree at Baumholder, assisted by an M113. It was the first time in the field with that jamming piece of shit. Got a brand new M60 out of the deal. The SAW had a serial number that was in the 400's. Never even got a stern look from the First Sergeant over it, either. Being the top M60 machinegunner in the company had its perks at times.
