"Santiago added that Meridian is the only company to supply the U.S. military with auto-injectors and has been doing so for more than 30 years."
I never liked the thought of having to give myself a shot of antropein(sp?). The auto-injector needle looked large enough to suck spagetti through.

NO KIDDING MAN - I saw one of those "scale model" auto-injectors and thought I was going to FAINT! Holy Cow! No wonder they have you stick your leg. Wherever you stick that thing isn't going to work for at least a month.

Yep. I still have one of those from my Navy MOPP suit somewhere in the house...

At leasts it's not that square needle they use to suck out sperm samples with. At least that what the more advanced classes at basic told us. Didn't have to go through that particular terror. Anyway, if I am convulsing from nerve gas, you can stick me with the big needle and I won't get very mad.
