Double Dumb Stuff
While C-101A was TDY at Lopburi the Thai SF wanted an abatis to start and ambush on the convey.
Our best Demo man ( NOT THE CLOCK MAN) was tasked to set up the abatis. Checking his demo hand book, the hardest tree was used to compute the charge. he did a test shot using the oak tree data, teak tree was still standing after the test shot. He said if the formula for blowing an oak tree didn't work he would just add 10 lbs to each tree.
Day of the ambush training our man prepared his charges, when the covoy was sighted he blew the demo.
From that day on he was known as 10 lb "P".
