re: #477 Dr Lizardo
Back in School of Infantry, we spent a couple of days learning the basics of handling explosives, setting fuses and prepping demolition charges. Then they would have each of us prep a fuse, and take us out in teams of 4 to the demo pits to set our charges, then wait for the command to ignite the fuse and run to the shelter.
“1 PULL! 2 PULL! 3 PULL! 4 How you doing today? Nervous? You think those other guys set their charges properly? PULL!”
