Navy galleys: ever the bastions of cultural sensitivity. On the other hand, it's hard to complain, because fried chicken is delicious.

 How would you like to the rear end in a top hat that has to drive the smoke generator m113 around? I bet they had some epic weed related vehicle names though...

I asked an NCO what would happen if you tried to use the smoke generator on an Abrams if it were hooked up using current fuel. He said "You'd look like the Bat Mobile for about ten seconds before the hull caught on fire." Still cracks me up.

I was in a Smoke/Decon Chemical Unit when I was at Bragg. They had those bastards strapped to the backs of HMMWVs. Coolest. poo poo. Ever. The amazing sound and sweet smoke plume we got every motor stables was worth the retarded star MOS bullshit that gave me the privilege of working with 19yo E5s. Almost.      loving Chemical Corps.

YUP. The black smoke you see is a Carbon(silicate? can never remember) add in that fucks up Infrared. They had sweet drop down screens so the drivers could see where the hell they were driving when they were in seas of smoke, and I don't remember what spectrum the periscope used, just that it was expensive as gently caress and we weren't allowed to touch. ^Pretty much. I left back in '05, so I don't even know if they still have the bastards.

Smoke and BIDs all went to reserve component. Active duty only runs CBRN Recon, Decon, and Tech Escort now. So glad I'm not in a CM unit anymore.

If it makes you feel better, it was a challenging problem and we spent many government research dollars in trying to solve the simple problem of "being able to see through gently caress loads of smoke".

The first letter of this name is often the company's letter designation(i.e., Vehicles in Co A would have A names like Avenger or whatever) or some 'badass' sounding name. ex. LOAF(Lords of rear end Fuckery because we got dicked around so much)  I don't have a picture but one of my unit's vehicles was named "Steel Bukkake" until some officer figured out what bukkake meant. vains fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Jan 16, 2013 |

Doing decon for the first time as a brand new private was loving terrifying. I went to the field like 4 days after I got to my unit and the very first thing they did was a decon lane. We were told if any one of us contaminated ourselves the entire platoon would be a nogo. Being fresh from TRADOC I didn't want to be that guy, oh no, I'm in a 'real' unit now!!!! So I'm sitting there completely unaware that my mask intake thingie (the little umbrella shaped soft plastic thing that goes inbetween the filter and the mask) was actually in reverse. So instead of getting precious oxygen, I was actually poisoning myself with CO2 because the air was going out, but not back in. They were using smokers to simulate a chemical environment so I had no idea if the lightheadedness and stuff was related to breathing it in. Few minutes later, plop. Right into knee deep mud. Wake up to my entire unit laughing their asses off at me. gently caress chemical warfare.

movax posted:Puff the Magic Dragon? Or were those flamethrowers? Like others have said vehicle names are generally at the discretion of the crews, but Puff the Magic Dragon was a widely accepted unofficial nickname for the AC-47 gunships in Vietnam (official name was Spooky). Here's why:  (click through for huge). Remember, the ball:tracer ratio in the miniguns was 4:1. The NVA/VC nicknamed the plane "dragon" because of the "dragon's breath" Since I brought up up gunships, this is an interesting fact: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeU6pThvJq0 It's been EIGHT YEARS since there hasn't been a Spectre gunship forward deployed somewhere in the world.
