And I missed all the fun while listening for a radio call that would never come, and freezing my ass off after dark.

heh heh... yer in the army now... great story...

when I was with 2d Marines as the Regimental S-6, we were at 29 Palms fer a Combined Arms Exercise... lotsuh carnage... anyway, the Arty was ready fer a TOT fer a battalion-6 (155s) when a spotter round from the 81s that were shootin' a prep flushed a couple of scrappers in their sandrails outta the target area... the 3 and the FSC looked at the Old Man and asked if they should check fire... after a long pause the Col said "Give 'em a thirty second head start..." I'd take a bullet fer that man...

the range safety guys were losin' their minds...
