Hey, don't they teach you to unload and safe these things before working on them?

Remember what happens when you lock a bowling ball in a room with 3 joes?
Yea, it gets lost, broken or sexually assaulted.
its about 1000% worse with the LBG´s who cant even read a checklist.
I had that nite off(begged and was able to go out with the lady that is now my wife) and wasnt on the bird. One of my compadres almost took some of those rounds, was only the recoil back of the gun hitting the gunners knees and the pain causing him to let off the buttons that saved the 12 folks sitting in the back from getting killed.
Those are the official accident photos, dont know how they got out, but someone in the Safety office just got fired...................

Kinda reminds me of a guy in El Sal that squeezed the trigger on a M16 on full auto as he ducked down in a duece and a half. We got caught in an ambush. The rib was right in front of him as he stitched it with a full twenty rounds. Nice tight group width wise and exactly verticle on the rib. Didn't know it could be done.
NDD, you may know the guys name. It happened in 84 but I think he was still rattleing around as an officer by the 90s. Heck Reaper, you may know him as well. He was an E6 on my team at the time of the minor incident.
It was the inside photo on the helio that reminded me of the incident. Similar pattern.

That sounds like "Mr I will sign each and every Q Course grad certificate myself"
But then I might just be biased having to drive his butt all over the place when he was the 7th Gp Cdr
