i just hate it when that happens...YIKES!!! Good thing it was a dummy round!
I can just hear the call to the Insurance Agent- !? A WHAT CAME THROUGH YOUR ROOF ?!
Sounds to Me like major operator error...
SARGE!!! FRONT AND CENTER SIR. Calling in the Expert PING!
OO- I’m not saying that you don’t know what your are talking about.
INCOMING PING!
If the shell hit the house how far did the round go?
Another reason to wear your hard hat around the house!
“YIKES!!! Good thing it was a dummy round!
Like the scene from “Stripes” Where John Laroquette (the idiot commanding officer) demands that a recruit “fire the mortar, soldier” when it hadn’t been set up. Warren Oates (the DI who has just scaled a rope climbing platform) hollers out “incoming!” True to the script the mortar round hit the platform.
“I can just hear the call to the Insurance Agent- !? A WHAT CAME THROUGH YOUR ROOF ?!”
Obviously an “act of war”, that’s not covered.
i just hate it when that happens...Awwwwhellsbells! I was a scout...I radioed FDC of the target I wanted hit, and they gave my info to the gun line. It could be the lay of the gun, survey/meteorology error, or a windage/ elevation error.
FReeper oh8eleven would have a better grip on what could have gone wrong.
My answer: Army Artillery!
BTW....an artillery “projectile” is indeed a shell. That shell encases a timer/fuse, high explosives, white phosphorus, flares with chutes ( illumination ) mines, hell all kinds of crap...Google it...too much to mention, and every damned shell is funner than hell to shoot! Teeth rattlin’, head duckin’, fun.
Good evening, OO!
