Local Forcepro left a M4 on the roof of a Humvee before starting a patrol in Kabul, it was never seen again. Same unit ND'd a burst from a Saw into Kabul. Unit before them ND'd a 240 into an Afghan bystander.

Watching a nuke chief and the Eng try to monkeyfuck some SUBSAFE reactor equipment with 0 work or containment controls was my hot safety violation. It was shewd that they rarely gave nukes guns.

Getting on a ship with the assumption that everyone around me is actively trying to kill me through ignorance and stupidity has saved my life more than once.

Had an E7 ND a round on the plane back from JRTC. This is a week after ammo turn in, so this dude hadn't checked his rifle in at least that long.

If I remember right it was only a blank, but there was definitely some sort of FAA investigation because that rifle got taken away as evidence.

Man I went through 5 years in the marines and the only time I saw a ND was was during rifle qual and it was the pog unit doing the range next to us. I think the other services don't beat people that gently caress up with weapons enough or something I dunno

Could just be random chance, I bet there are plenty of marines who have seen crazy poo poo. For my part one of my sailors squeezed off a few .50 rounds while underway during my first year in.

To be fair, I saw more accidents that were along the lines of "whoops those were live rounds not blanks" than I did ND's. During an FTX a lucky/unlucky PFC had a round hit the feed tray cover of his SAW while he was reloading it.

I was a marksmanship instructor in the Corps, I spent a lot of time at the ranges. I never saw an ND. I did once see a dude in MCT who apparently didn't think they'd piss test people coming back from bootcamp leave and chased 8-balls with LSD so he flipped his poo poo halfway through. Went AWOL from the bivouac. We were formed up to search the firebreaks an poo poo all over pendleton looking to see where he tossed his M16. Duder went full camo face paint and buried himself under some leaves under a big rear end oak looking tree on top of a hill. When me and my buddy got up there my buddy goes "I see the M16!" followed by a loving bang and him falling down. I saw the nut job doing remedial action and was about to brain him with my e-tool when one of the instructors comes over and snags the rifle. Kept kicking him in the face telling him to let go. Duder has put his arm in the sling like he was firing on the 500 yard line. I thought my buddy was dead until he stood up and goes "that was scary as poo poo". Duder was firing blanks. Which is why he had to work the action.

Saw a few NDs in the Marines. Best one was some dude complaining on the Quantico gate about having to stand the gate. Other guy on the gate, who had super-PTSD and TBI from Fallujah had the Benelli, yelled "LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT FALLUJAH!" and threw it on the ground so hard it shot into the deck. Not really THAT interesting except "Let me tell you about Fallujah" became our platoon motto.

Haven't seen an ND, but we almost never handle weapons. When I qualified last year there was a guy who kept getting yelled at for flagging people. They made a guy "re-qualify" while we were cleaning the M4s, by which I mean he somehow did that in 10 minutes and we didn't hear any shots.

Never seen any ND's but I've been shot at a couple times during live fires with the infantry. Happened with 2 different BN's, my takeaway is that the infantry don't care too much about battle tracking the locations of friendly units or having positive ID on what exactly they're shooting at. Both of them involved passage of lines, neither had happened yet so obviously the scouts were still in front of them... Fortunately nobody got hit. Even during STX/force on force stuff, we would rehearse the passage of lines with the infantry and they would just not do it when it comes time to execute. The funniest time this happened was when we were observing the obstacle belt and the the IN BN we were providing reconnaissance for skipped the passage of lines and almost the entire BN got completely annihilated within a few hundred meters in front of my position. As Nero Danced posted:The only ND I've ever seen was a guy making GBS threads his pants. A CO's gunner in a sister company was jerking off into his fleece beanie for some reason during training out at Yakima. The CO reached for what he thought was his beanie and got his gunners jizz all over his head. No idea how true it is but said gunner was a gross dude in general and that CO was a huge rear end in a top hat so I'd like to believe it. I heard it from the gunner himself while he was my SDNCO one night while I was on staff duty.

Pretty sure I've told this story before. A guy in my shop used to be in the Army Guard. He says one night on deployment he awoke to a fistfight because: Guy 1 dares guy 2 to jizz on guy 3's face while he was sleeping.

That reminds me of a time I guess I was the idiot, but I think my range coach was. Doing the standing portion of rifle qual, I always placed the ammo box a step behind me, so I'd take one step back and then sit down. The range coach in Okinawa I guess thought I was doing this by mistake, and when I was shooting moved the box right behind me. I took a step back and tripped right over the loving box and down the berm, across the firing line, a good 5 feet in front of it. Cease fire called and I got yelled at. What a poo poo day.
