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.

No, it's actually SOP to call MISFIRE and not touch the drat thing for two or three minutes before yanking the cord again. Then if no, fire wait for longer before popping the firing mech and checking the primer for a dent.

The firing mech on a 777 is a lot like the one on a 198 or a Paladin, same cannon tube. The whole "can be installed upside down" thing has been a known issue that could have been solved with some CAD machining before the 777 entered production. I'm not sure if procurement or that guys section chief are the bigger idiot.

You're right, it's something that should have been poka-yoke'd out at proof of concept phase.

Procurement are always idiots. But the section chief is 100% certified dipshit for not following misfire procedure, and one of his troops paid the price for it.

I had a heatstroke and got hauled off in the ambulance during basic (happens to someone in every platoon).

Can't they just put a thermometer under your tongue / in your ear?

The argument is that anywhere other than your core doesn’t give you a true core body temp. I think different organs have different tolerances to heat, maybe?

Having said that, I think medics are looking for reasons to nakedize people and stick things in their butts after giving them a scrub with icy blankets :v:

Just do what I did when threatened with the old butthole temp check: tell them that you don't consent and will fight to your dying breath.

My doctor buddy says that when car crash victims come into the ER, they have to stick a finger up their butt to check their tone and make sure they don't have spinal injuries, but he also seems like the kind of guy who would find a reason to stick his finger in the your rear end so I don't know if that's really a common thing or not.

Anyone want half a dozen Bradleys? Yours for the taking but you have to pick up.

They are, and yet every fucker I’ve talked to that was on them loved them and thought they were the greatest fighting vehicle ever invented.

Which, I guess against lightly armed insurgents and fourth-tier armored forces i guess they do well enough. I still wouldn’t want to get in a proper shootout with anything with teeth in those towering monstrosities.

At least Sheridans had neat gimmicks like being air-droppable and firing gently caress off big missiles out the tank barrel.

Brads are just cramped, over exposed and undergunned.

Of course, ive been on Strykers this whole time so :cry:
