Charlie Harley, #14153 3,258 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I seriously hope this was taken in basic training somewhere. At that stage, this is an understandable mistake by someone who never grew up around guns and might be a little slow. But if it's in Afghanistan like the video claims, somebody did this soldier a serious injustice by pushing him through without training. Just setting him up to die. Link to post Share on other sites
Sidekick 118 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 The private called him drill sergeant so I'm guessing that this was during basic training Link to post Share on other sites

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 3,592 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 My feelings exactly, Charlie. Even during the latter part of WW II they replacements got to fire their rifles before combat. Link to post Share on other sites

Bad Jeemes Kelly 6 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Don't have to be smart to die for this great country. But it helps if you'd rather not die, or cause your buddies to die. Hope he doesn't have an infantry MOS. From the easy going reaction of the drill sergeant, I'll guess that was Ft. Jackson, so he's not Infantry/Armor/Cav Link to post Share on other sites
Chili Ron 1,008 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Howdy, It reminds me of a day on the rifle range when I let a fella try my tuned up rifle. there were 30 rounds in the mag. He fired all 30, never offered to pay for em. I never handed that much to anyone after that. 5 rounds max. Lucky it wasn't expensive ammo. If it had been that would be a different story.

G W Wade 1,059 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 got the chance to try to qualify with 1911. I got to personally witness an ensign jerking the trigger violently. cleared my weapon and stepped back. range officer approached asking why, to see the ensigns slide was locked back. I don't have to explain the rest of the story, but just glad it wasn't me!! GW Link to post Share on other sites

No, he'd have to be on parole to win the lottery and the Army won't take him while he's on parole. ...which I realized, as I typed it, isn't really true - I'd have said it was impossible, but 2 Kentucky parolees, that I know of, have enlisted while on parole, in the last 5-6 years. Maybe that guy will win the lottery. Link to post Share on other sites
