Right now, the Big 12 leads all conferences in having mascots that carry guns. Tech, Oklahoma State and West Virginia.

Right “Load The Magazine “ should be the call

Right “Load The Magazine “ should be the call

Actually, in Naval terms a magazine is a shipboard compartment in which ammunition is stored.

It SHOULD be changed...

to

“Load the MAGAZINE”.
= = =

Check out the Carrier, USS Gerald Ford -

“The team, which Navy officials have declined to identify, started work last month on getting the ship’s 11 electromagnetic weapons elevators up and running, a task that the Secretary of the Navy has already staked his job on, telling President Trump he can fire him if they’re not in working order.

Currently, only two of the ship’s new weapons elevators are operational, meaning sailors are unable to quickly move munitions from belowdecks to aircraft ready to take off. “

So this A/C carrier cannot even load it’s munitions either...

In bootcamp at the NRTC SDiego, we fired M1’s at the rifle range. The M1 uses a clip, not a magazine. A better motto might be “Don’t Give Up The Ship”.

Yes. It is multiple things. I doubt when loading a pistol or M-4 they say clip.

That’s awful.

My Dad was a Navy Vet of two wars and this makes me very sad.
