Mark R Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I like the story about the reporter who was interviewing a Marine sniper and asked him what he felt when he shot an enemy combatant and with a straight face, the sniper said "Recoil" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punkin Chunker Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Fixed wingers better be nice to the rotary wing crowd -- you COULD wind up on the plane guard's "no pick-up" list. Sikorsky SH-3s -- 52,000 pieces flying in close formation. When oil isn't leaking, it's 'cause you're out of oil.

ShooterSteve Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 We had some friends that liked to go "hog hunting". Every body antied up $20 and left it on the kitchen table, then went out to the local place- the "dance machine" in Imperial Bch, if that place is still around. Who ever came home with the biggest and "sealed the deal" got the pot on the table. Was quite a contest. Thank God I was married. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickr Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Grafenwoehr Germany in the 80's Army Training! While driving around during the Day you had to have you lights on For safety! At Night you had to have your Lights off, ( Gota Be Tactical!) Truth! God I remember that. Funny story. We had just turned in all of our old M60 tanks to get the new M1A1 Abrams Tank. When they were first issued they had no catseye lights. (Very small lights front and back, you can't see with them but at least in convoy you can be seen.) We go on night convoy with 100+ tanks in a line. As an M88 operator I was at the rear of the convoy. All you heard was bang, bang, bang, all the way. They slinky ran into each other a hundred times. By the time we got to the gunnery range we had torched off every fender on every tank. They couldn't see each other in the dark and just pounded the crap out of each other. Amazing some of the stuff that was forgotten on those first versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKSNIPER Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 "The most dangerous times while in flight are take off and landing, by jumping out of the aircraft you have lessened your risk by 50%. If your parachute should fail to open when jumping from the aircraft? Upon landing you will immediately bring it back and we'll give you a brand new one free of charge just be aware that it comes with the standard breaks in half guarantee....if it breaks in half? You get to keep both halves free of charge." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
