haveblue posted:Question- how did they decide that specific imperfection was a major issue needing correction and not the 500 other gouges and dents all over the tire? If the damage went all the way and the tyre was losing pressure, they might have gone with water and soap. At least the repair covers quite a large area, so there's your repair for a bunch other damage.

Icon Of Sin posted:At least the output of the place has improved We got the rest of the story and it turns out it’s more of an OSHA situation than a hazing situation (not that the USMC is beholden to OSHA). quote:Used to work at a naval hospital. Apparently artillery marines used to have this hazing tradition called “kissing the breach”. Essentially, the M777 (155) howitzer artillery guns (like any gun) have a massive recoil and the new marines would put their face as close to the recoil as possible. Apparently, this was fairly common but honestly I never heard of it again after this. So this good looking, 19 year old boot actually “kissed the breach”. The gun recoiled and smacked him in the face. He transferred to our hospital one day after the incident and it was the worst injury I have ever seen to this day. He somehow survived being hit in the face by the recoil of a round capable of traveling 25 miles. This thing weighs like 9000 pounds and hit him in the face with literal cannon force. He makes it to hospital and I couldn’t believe my eyes. He essentially had lost his entire face. No eyes, mouth, nose, chin. Nothing. A gaping hole with tubes and surgical dressings. I was part of a team responsible for stabilizing him and never heard the outcome, but I know he survived for quite some time. He may have made it back home. I hope he is still around. He had a great family around him and the hardest part was seeing his mother holding pictures of her son before the incident happened. Heartbreaking. quote:Doc, I was in 11th Marines when this happened. This was a Marine up in 29 Palms, and it actually was not a a hazing incident. This was actually a procedure and supervision mishap. The 19 year old was the breach operator and was pretty inexperienced at the position. When you move a howitzer, procedure dictates removing the firing mechanism and storing it in the #2 bag until emplacement. During emplacement the Marine accidentally installed the firing mechanism UPSIDE-DOWN in what many of us artillery Marines were aware was a flaw that could happen in the design. Unfortunately, he did not notice this happened during emplacement. They received a fire mission, and when they went to fire it, there was the misfire. The section chief immediately noticed that the firing mech was installed incorrectly, and he shouted at his Marine to fix it. This is where leadership was in the wrong. He removed the mech, with his body bent over near the breech with both a round in the tube, prop behind it, and the initating magazine still in the breech. In order to actually successfully install the firing mech, you need to turn it in place until it clicks and locks. That click and lock is also the firing mech OPERATING. He locked it in, half bent into the breech, and BANG. Bounced his face off the breech, he ricocheted off the Gunner's sight, and landed at the section chief's feet. The chief ended up doing time in the brig for gross negligence. quote:Navy med did a good job, but he lost an eye. Full disability, probably. quote:That's awful. I hope that all military howitzers were taken offline until the firing mechanism was fixed so it could no longer be put in upside-down quote:We had a Corps wide artillery stand down, each unit's Field Artillery Chief had to personally supervise the implementation of white paint "witness marks" on the breech face and firing mech so that you could now verify that the mech was installed correctly.

Computers, vehicles, just anything you can destroy and loosely hide. But it got to the point where people were getting very ill from the fumes off burning equipment piles, and people started to notice. They were burning a ton of poo poo in Afghanistan, and a bunch of friends and me now all have lung issues. haveblue posted:Question- how did they decide that specific imperfection was a major issue needing correction and not the 500 other gouges and dents all over the tire?

In Bagram, the burn pit was about 3/4 of a mile away, they were burning all sorts of poo poo in 2008, and where I was working was in one of the 3 paths downwind from it. In Bastion, they had started restricting what could and couldn't be burned by 2012, but the 2 pits were: 800' from where we slept, and comically, 100' from the compound we worked out of. So yeah, I got the lung funk too, and 11-12 separate anthrax shots can't have helped my heart/cardiovascular system.

It doesn’t take a loving rocket scientist to know that breathing smoke is bad and that some of the stuff they were burning was extra toxic. It’s such a disgrace.

My surprise stems from it being acknowledged this "soon". KBR was caught burning UXO, bio waste, and a host of other poo poo I don't even remember at this point in the open burn pits. Not a drat thing happened to them, truly, but that's not a surprise at all. Then you've got the part where the drinking water was shipped over with all kinds of stuff that leeched into it as well. What I'm getting at is the OSHA is inside us now.
