[Robert A Cook PE]

when i was a 107mm mortar platoon leader at grafenwoehr BRD in ‘76 i had a 108mm round that would not fit down the tube. tried to turn it into eod and they asked if it was defective. i said it wouldn’t fit in the tube. they replied yes but is it defective?

Confuseus say, “One who loads mortar shells in tube turned for end often end up without an end on either end.”

Grafenwoehr - done that. Check.

Upside-down mortor round - done that. Check.

You never saw a range get so quiet. Range NCO from behind a bunker - “Pick up the tube and shake it!”

Me - “WTFO?”
