And don’t fire it from an enclosed room.

Back Blast Area Clear!!!!!

My favorite Basic training story. We had an E1 named Gook Joe. Little Vietnamese guy. Not only did we harangue the guy over his name "Gook", but he was a complete idiot. Bad English, bad hygiene, bad attitude. He HATED our big black drill sgt. Drill SGT who was a bad ass 2nd ACR vet, Ranger, Panama/Grenada/1st Gulf War vet, etc etc. .

Anyways, the contentious relationship culminated on the M72a2 Law Range. Good was trying to fire the little training rocket and his squeaky little voice couldn't say "Back Blast Area " ...it was "Black Bastard! Black Bastard!". Of course we knew Gook was trying to say Back Blast Area, but the world of hurt that DS Walker brought down was hilarious to watch. Those two got into it all the time. Every time I see an AT4, etc being prepped...I think to myself "BLACK BASTARD!" and laugh my ass off.
