#7 So that's who keeps leaving sketchy holes in front of the berm.
I was never allowed to carry grenades because I couldn't throw for shit. I actually nailed someone in training with an inert dummy grenade and had to carry them up a few hills. Nope, I didn't get to throw much of anything in my younger years, so the ability didn't develop well.
The basic training for grenade instruction was stupid (~1980). It was really just an introduction and make sure nobody got their heads blown off. We were never allowed to see where what we were throwing was going, so sure as shit if you came anywhere near a target it was a freaking miracle. "qualifying" really meant you you could pull a pin and get rid of it in the right general direction without killing yourself (or your drill).
Reminds me of when I was on KP in basic training. Pans of cake batter laying out, flys landing but not all getting picked off. Crunchy raison cake on the menu that day.

Delete#7 And that solider was given up for a month?
ReplyDelete#2 Pretty sure those are honeybees, and he's rolling out a pollen patty. Based on the gloves he's wearing, size of the flying bugs, etc.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why you'd do that where the bees can get to it, but to each their own, I guess.
