They're still making it, but they 'nerfed' it from its original formulation. I just read the other day that they're getting ready to put out a hard seltzer (because *that's* a 'thing' now) with 14% ABV. EDIT: \/

There was a civilian gate runner at Mayport not too long ago who pulled up drinking a 4 Loko, told the guards to gently caress themselves and then punched the gas through the gate before slamming into the immediately deployed barrier. He might of died, not sure. He was airlifted out. Looked it up. Yeah he dead. Bonus 2nd gate crasher story even stranger in link. https://www.news4jax.com/news/military/man-dies-of-injuries-from-1st-of-2-crashes-at-mayports-main-gate-this-month

14% is stronger than wine What I'm saying is they should absolutely be releasing this so that people can drink wine like it was soft drink and provide content for this and the schadenfreude thread.

The second one sounds like the guy who either stole a truck, or was driving his buddy’s truck when he drove it through the oversized headstone that 5-1 Cav put up as a memorial to their dead soldiers. I had thought that was the fastest chapter I’d see on the army (~10days), but my fuckup soldier managed to get his pushed through in a single work week  I need to go dig through the old idiots thread, he went out in a blaze of glory involving trashed hotel rooms on post, showing up to formation hammered, peeing in his roommate’s locker, stealing random things from anyone around him, and going to his last extra duty day just so he could tell our SGM (we didn’t even have a CSM) that he was loving off and nobody could stop him. Like I said, final blaze of glory (except that Phoenix wasn’t reborn afterwards). I know I wrote about him before, but it’s been a long while and I’m probably missing details.

someone on AskReddit posted: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.

I saw a whole lot of dumb poo poo during my time with the guns. I saw young gunners jump off the back of a truck and crack their skulls on the trails. Guys trying to unload 105 HE with wooden sticks. 105 barrels so fouled that we had to pound thru a costco sized bag of TP to get it clean. Guys tossing fuzed 105 rounds. Not once, in my entire time in service, did I witness anything as monstrously unsafe as that practice. It's not like the pendulum test, there's some variance in the recoil depending on the charge/round/trail spade depth. You've got a 3000lb barrel/breech assembly moving at roughly 100 meters/second, you will lose any fight you get into with that thing. The number one loving thing we always, ALWAYS taught gunners was "never stand between the trails, never stick something between the trails you're not willing to lose". An injury of that kind in the CF would have resulted in, minimum, loss of command for Gun Det commander, Battery CO and CWO and probably Regimental CO/CWO, and I'd expect criminal charges against the gun det commander as well. But it would never, ever have happened because the rest of his det would have beat the poo poo out of him for even thinking about doing that.

Either this was the same incident or someone seperately got their face done in by an artillery piece with senior enlisted incompetence, and a bad military equipment design.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.

Just like is it SOP in Marine Artillery to gently caress with the firing mechanism with a round in the tube? Where installing it means actuating it and possibly NDing a 155 round down range? There are so many loving questions there, Jesus.

When I lived at Fort Hood, some dumbfuck drove an M60 through a bivouac area without a guide. At night. Some poor fucker got squished, but survived. As half a guy. They even had to take out most of his pelvis, since that was ground up. The story was in the post paper as a cautionary tale, with an interview with the squished guy. Don't recall what happened to the driver, but I doubt it was good.

Some dumbass from 1-25 did that with a Stryker down at JRTC, drove it right through the designated sleeping area that was marked off with engineer tape and glow sticks. Luckily, nobody was sleeping there but based on the number of rucksacks that got crushed, he would have run over about 6 people.
