I had a buddy who was an 11H. When he was a new private he was on a TOW range where they were firing live missiles. One of the TOWs did something similar to this, it launched but the sustainer motors never fired. The missile went a short way downrange and then crashed. There was apparently a shortage of NCOs at the range because a LT took a few PVTs down and BROUGHT THE MISSILE BACK! Apparently he wanted to mount it in the CP. They took this live missile back to the ammo point and placed it inside with several other unfired live missiles. The battalion commander showed up a short time later to check on the range and when he saw what was in the ammo point his reaction was along the lines of "HOLY $&%*$*% %&%$." EOD was called and the unfired ammo was removed. They spent a couple of hours sandbagging the ammo point and then EOD blew it in place. That LT is no longer serving.
