That's how war stories officially start.

Over at Mostly Cajun, even though LarryDale omitted the obligatory intro - he has a great, run-of-the-mill, why-the-service-is-fun kind of story to tell. Reminds me of a crisp winter day at Grafenwoehr when no one showed up for the M203 range...

Have I ever told you how very, very, very good I am with the M203?

Read this story over at Mostly Cajun and you'll have an idea. Even if he was (shudder) a tanker.

The difference between a fairy tale and a war story: A fairy tale starts "Once upon a time". A war story starts "This ain't no sh1t!" and so it goes... Dale

That story really took me back. I had a similar (if much smaller) experience with shooting off a bunch of ammo when my Guard unit shot Tank Table VI. Mostly Cajun is right -- shooting the 105 ruins you for shooting anything smaller. I still remember vividly the feel of the recoil as it rocked the whole tank. That's a purty picture of an M60A3 you've got there. I can tell it's an A3 because it has a crosswind sensor mast. Tanko, ergo sum.
