Life range day - Page 3

crazycoffey · 09-24-2009, 08:08 AM

So with 10 years experience with the Army and I've never fired the M-2 (Ma-Duece) or the 240B (replaced the M-60, which I have fired) until today that is.

It's a foggy morning, been waiting for it to lift and clear. Should be going up soon. Maybe I can get a pic or two.

BTW- hope I haven't missed much, saw the chiefs loss sunday, boo! Hope all are finding sucess in life, love work and all you do.

Out for now

Awesome. I wish I'd went in the military after high school.

Anyway I did buy myself a Model 95 Barrett two years ago. It's nothing like the ma deuce ,just a bolt action with a 5 shot clip. Paid $7500 for it .

That will reach out and touch a deer from a long freakin way! Holy shit... I hope you got a few high dollar cover side gigs (assassination maybe?) to help pay for that mofo.

Plus the ammo is high dollar. Not something to plink around with that is for sure.

Yeah, I'll admit we did him wrong but I think everyone got it one way or another.

Or an “ST-1”, or an “ID-ten-T”.

I've sent a guy to the tool room looking for 6' of falopian tube.
We sent the same guy to medical for a pap smear. Everyone played along with it except for that female Navy Capt at OB/GYN at the Naval Hospital in Rota.
We all got are asses chewed, but it was well worth it.

One of our favorites in Field Artillery was to send the Pvt. off to find some Level Bubble grease. Down the gun line he would go....

My first tank gunnery, our tank was broken and a turret mechanic NCO sent me to the Battallion TOC to fetch the BA-eleven hundred novembers. Wasn't so funny when I busted into a meeting asking the battallion cmdr for something that didn't exist. With a clenched jaw, the LT Col asked who sent a private after this item, I told him is was Sgt whatshisass , and he said as it requires an NCO to sign them out to send ole sarge back to sign for them. I still had no ****ing clue what was going on, so I say yes sir, and haul ass. Should have seen the sarge's face when I told him the Lt Col Tucker said to send him back because an NCO had to sign for them... Priceless. Of course, the mechanics duct taped me to the gun tube the next day. Good times... Good times... Oh, and if you didnt catch it... BA-Eleven Hundred Novembers = BALL00N

I was such a noob... seriously, I had come off of leave right after OSUT, then signed into my unit, did a TA-50 inspection and went to gunnery the next day. I had no clue what the army was like at that point.
