Depends on which range at Pendleton. When I was there, a few ranges were simply off limits. Others had to be swept periodically. Its sad, but being a Marine stateside does not guarantee getting your dd-214 unscathed.
Huh? The articles says the Marines were on duty, clearing unexploded ordnance. Did you have a point?
Somebody has screwed the pooch at Pendleton (again) and four Marines are dead. I realize accidents happen, but, I am suspicious that Obama’s hollowing out of our military is going to result in more and more of this.
I have no evidence, beyong my gut.
Probably on the mortar range. We lost a raven on that range and were told to never retreive it because we’d lose a half dozen guys to old ordanance. Apparently the Vietnam era 81mm will go boom with just a little jostle.
