Bill -

I know, brother, whereof you speak... I mean, if they expect us to use a dang weapon of that power, hadn't they oughta give a person a fair dinkum' more work with it! We had maybe half a day learning field breakdown and assembly on the old M1, then got sent out to the range. After that nobody ever so much as SHOWED us an M1 or anything resembling it, and a year later everybody was using the M14 or M16 or something... we'd have had not a clue which part was the business end.

No wonder the Jarheads and Grunts make fun of us...

On the other hand, tongue firmly in cheek, we have the good sense to send our OFFICERS into battle... most of the time anyhow. So there.

Glad yer doin' okay (limp and all), keep that airplane up there safe and sound. You got the best damn tool box ever built.
