We did a demo range on Oki, and every demo range there comes with a Marine Demo guy (safety).
We arrive with a ton of demo to train with and when the Marine shows up he’s got a couple of packages for us.
WWII satchel charges and the bags were “dripping.” When we asked what they were he told us they were WWII satchel charges and when I asked why they were “wet” he said he thought that might be “Nitro” and they should be safe, just don’t drop them.
The other stuff was WWII “TOP SECRET” limpet mines. I wish I still had the instructions for placing them on enemy ships. They were pretty cool, I’m sure we have some better anti ship mines in the inventory now….. Yes, we placed all the packages on a stack of C-4 and with a thunderous “FIRE IN THE HOLE” turned the whole lot into gas.
