HSTG

When I was on my second RVN tour, we had three .50 calibers brought out to the field with plenty of ammmo. You guessed it, nobody brougt a HSTG for any of the guns. A young 2LT said that he had learned at OCS that you could use two dimes and a nickle as a Field Expediant HS guage.

I reache into mmy pocket and brought out some MPCs in the right denominations and challenged the 2LT to try his expediant. There was dead silence.
