The same kid also dropped the live grenade in the hole with him and the DI at training.I admired the DI’s speed and coordination.
We practiced before the range with one of the cadre acting like a recruit and freezing or dropping the egg or hitting the top of the blast wall and the grenade flying back at you, etc.
Helped...made you realize just how long 5 seconds can be...made you ready for the real thing and every cycle, one or more of us had to react.
