Been with

Been with some third world guys who were not much better the first time.

Sump worked.

Chinese Grenade training sure does not look like US Grenade training. Must not have the blue ones to give a few practice throws with.

I'm not surprised considering the Chinese hired this guy to consult on their grenade throwing technique:

In "Revenge of the Nerds", Wormser made a javelin to compensate for Lamar's limp-wristed throwing style. Just sayin'.

I saw something very similiar to that happen at Ft. Lewis back in '83 when I was in the 9th ID.

We had a female MP who was something of a klutz draw her arm back to throw a grenade and she dropped it. Right quick, a respected Company NCO who was acting as a safety kicked it into the sump, threw her to the ground and covered her body with his. He took a few fragments of shrapnel in his legs and ended up receiving a Soldiers Medal from Division Comander, MG Riscassi.

BZ! Nowadays if that happened he'd be up on charges.
