This was one in a million.. The clown-car-media just had to make a story about this... Likely so. We were out on the range first day and had one go short I think down at Ft Stewart. We got tossed off the range and send back to the barracks for training.
Many ranges when they were built were deep in the boonies like Ft Pickett. The areas then became developed near the bases and the shots were more critical. This isn't a career ender or anything but the offending units C.O. likely caught some royal flack over it.

I just looked it up. It's an NG training base. That explains a lot. You get a Battery out in the field once or maybe twice a year for fire missions and things are gonna go wrong no matter how careful you are. This is not a knock or put down on Army NG’s as I've been been there and done that in an artillery unit. It's just a reality of what can happen.

Well in fairness, a howitzer round lands in your yard, you might think it’s a big deal. I’m pretty easy going, but I’d notice.
