Here's a story, since this is a place to tell them. When I was serving over in Germany at ROTC as Major, I had a group of cadets and a few captains, Lt., and we were getting pure training of outdoor weaponry. Well the topic of the day was 'gernade throw and duck'. If you know that meaning, which is common sense, you'd know what to do.
Cadet Sanders...one of the most stuck-up kids I had to deal with, thought it was not such a bad idea to just, toss a gernade and stand.
so here's the story...
It was a normal day, a plain and normal day, we were training. There was the medical class, the outdoor training course, and then the swimming. I was in training course with my group.
Cadet Sanders {any information about him is n/a} comes from a background of popularity and spoil. He never liked to listen and had a troubled time.
When we were teaching them to throw gernades, sanders was not paying attention. So when I called upon him to show the class wing how it's done, he obviously was put on the spot.
he took the gernade, removed the pully, and ''tossed'' it. mainly, we all dashed from him and ducked. but he, remained posed.
BANG. it went off, and Lord behold, Sanders gets scarred from flying dirt, rock, and wood debris.
Did he deserve the purple heart?? I cannot doubt my commander for giving sanders one, but personally....sanders is a complete idiot.
there's a helicoptor story to it too....just to proove again, sanders's idioticy.
let me shorten the story. Training field, helicoptor, firing in field, my group gets to Black hawk, we aboard, Sanders smart mouths, helicoptor tips, he falls out.
