I think all old ordinances should be detonated.

Not ordnance, though. It might be useful someday.

—yeah—I’d like to see a 60mm mortar “exploded_ , too—wonder how they are going to do that ?

Old ordinance to be detonated this morning

Watch as the explosive ordinance disposal team carefully carries the dangerously unstable internal revenue code away for destruction.

And for the last word...

There is no I in ordnance...

“Ordinance” SMH

The world gets dumber every day.

avoid the item, note its location, and contact Range Control

Sounds like Eddie Eagle for adults.

Apparently this sort of thing happens occasionally. An old 81mm round that was found last December and reported to fort personnel.

Then there was the 60mm HE round found by a hiker on New Years Day 2013. The hiker thoughtfully put the unexploded round in his backpack and took it to the Sierra Vista PD - whom I'm sure were very grateful to have it in their station.

(This could also explain why we loose the occasional hiker under mysterious circumstances.) :-)

Circa 1967 in the Boy Scouts, we camped at the Quantico Marine Base. A buddy and I wandered onto a range and brought back what was said to be a live bazooka round. Fun and games.

Fast forward many years - my son and buddies blowing up a 122mm shell in Iraq. The audio is funny.
