Nope. 3 years in Korea (no rent or utilities plus bonus pay and nearly unlimited overtime) does wonders for savings and investment portfolios. I knew senior DoD guys who were over there for 30 plus years and they were loaded. Plus they all have Korean wives to manage their finances for maximum richness-enhancement.

Whereabouts in THE PUREST AND MOST NOBLE COUNTRY ON EARTH are you? Seoul or Busan I expect?

Also, did you know that Jeju is better than any other tropical island and Dokdo is most certainly not called Takeshima?

I once almost loaded a 120mm mortar with the mortar shell's fuse facing downwards. I wonder if that would've been me had I not noticed my gently caress up in time :v: .

I don't know much about mortars, but I'm pretty sure they aren't straight contact fuzes anymore.

That scene in Saving Private Ryan throwing mortars by hand

Yeah

But I just looked it up, mortar fuzes need the acceleration from the charge firing, airflow concurrent to the speed of a shell in flight through the fuze and the general flightpath of a shell in flight before arming. This differs from a howitzer fuze which uses rotational count before arming.

Missionary Positron posted:

I think the fuzes can only be armed by actually firing them, so the only real danger would've probably been something closer to this:



It was a definite "Oh poo poo"-moment, though.

Oh yeah, the moron gun det commander I had who tried unloading a 105 round using a cam-pole because he was too lazy to unpack the unloader didn't really run the risk of detonating the round by smashing a piece of wood against the fuze tip...he was just loving stupid as gently caress.

That's a good one, but I was thinking of this one;

quote:

You people of the South don't know what you are doing. This country will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it will end. It is all folly, madness, a crime against civilization! You people speak so lightly of war; you don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing! You mistake, too, the people of the North. They are a peaceable people but an earnest people, and they will fight, too. They are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it … Besides, where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them? The North can make a steam engine, locomotive, or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or pair of shoes can you make. You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth — right at your doors. You are bound to fail. Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with. At first you will make headway, but as your limited resources begin to fail, shut out from the markets of Europe as you will be, your cause will begin to wane. If your people will but stop and think, they must see in the end that you will surely fail.

He did. He and McChrystal transformed that command into something better than it already was, and it was already a well run high speed command.
