Quote HistoryFor the M106, the pucker factor was at an appropriate 11.  I wasn't an 11C, why is he putting his hands in front of the barrel and why is the round coming out on fire? I am assuming the fire is the propellant / charge. I get why he throws it out of the track though. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Huh. In the early 90's, when I got out, they were hard core anti fat in the Army. One guy on our post Rugby team was also on the weightlifting team. He had to get special orders from Ft Sam and a trip to a hydro dip tank to verify body fat, I think he came in at 10 or 12%. I was on the post Rugby team, maxed out my PT test, except push ups, god I hated push ups, was usually the top 5 runner in the company, but I was a fat ass and had to be taped for weigh in. W. Ventures. I've always wondered if he did it. |

Misfire? Stuck round? Bloop shot? Run away!!!! Once safe giggle like bitches and laugh about how stupid Carl is. |

Not an 11C either but I wonder if the cheese charge ignited from heat from a previous firing and lit up on the round before it got to go down? I was just an 11B though. Hopefully an 11C can chime in Quote HistoryQuoted:

I was in a Stryker unit so all our Chucks got thrown into a platoon with the tankers. Watching those guys do glass house CQB training was a riot.

Quote HistoryQuoted: A warrant officer is a subject matter expert, a specialist, focusing on a single skill or specialty, who, as tbey progress through the ranks, know more and more about less and less, until they eventually know everything about nothing. This is in contrast to the officers, who are generalists. As they progress through their careers, leading larger and larger formations, they know less and less about more and more, until they eventually know nothing about everything. Do enlisted men. Something along the lines of "start out knowing nothing about anything and slowly learn everything about something, then when you hit E-9 they put you in charge of yelling at people who walk on the grass." |

LOL We used to give them shit for playing spades all day while we humped but when it was time for them to work they earned their pay. HAd to be the worst shit to jump. I remember praying that I got 11B instead of 11C in OSUT. Of course back then we also had 11H, 11HE9, 11M, 11BC2 Door bundles were a godsend for the 81s. I never had to jump a 60, but I always had the FDC stuff and radios, which definitely exceeded the weight of any 60 component. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's pretty rare that the tubes got hot enough to cook off the charges. Usually what would set them off is embers from the charges or smoldering shit in the tube. Sometimes the charges don't completely burn up, or small parts of them stick to the inside of the tubes and cause problems. That's why after every firemission, the gun crews should be swabbing the tubes so that carbon and misc shit gunking up the tube doesn't smolder on the next mission. |
