I assume you are referring to XVIII Corps EOD. They were as worthless a group of "soldiers" as I ever had the displeasure of working with. In Somalia, but that's another story.

As I stood there taking those Pics, I heard what sounded kind of like rain and took the camera down to see a SKY FULL OF CHUNKS THE SIZE OF THE ONE THAT I'M HOLDING !!!! I dove under the 3/4 Ton and that stuff "Rained Down" for a good Minute. It beat the "Rag Top" off of the Truck !!! Those Pics were not taken with a Telephoto, just a plain old 50mm Lens.

It's pictures and stories like these that motivated me to want to become an 18C.

Tony, if I had worked for you, I probably would have never left.

Name this UXO

Okay 18 Series please name the below on this munition. I know you EOD Techs can slam this out, give us a week to name this. No Pun with SLAM. I'll like to see if 18C's can name it. I know that every 18C has graduated since 2003 have gotten a UXO block.

Name the following:
1) Type by function
2) Safety Hazards
3) What weapon fires this warhead.
4) Type and name of Fuze.
5) BIP method?


Okay here's a new PIX to help you out.
