Featuring full insertion, even. With a bit of that ol' in-and-out.

I, of course, bring nothing intelligent to the table when John at Castle Argghhh! has military pr0n and asks for captions or comments. So I'll sink back into my swamp simply stating that it reminded me of a time, 21... Read More

I'm not sure which path you're expecting to take it down, but it looks painful to me...

It doesn't look like any howitzer *I* ever saw--looks more like a barrel in an ordnance cradle... BTW, it looks like the E-3 is a solo act on the end of that oversized bore-brush--where's the Iraqi soldier?

Heh. We've discussed the captioning ability of DoD's web-mavens...

105mm L119 Light Gun, mounted on its turntable/traversing platform. It is not an L118 because kippers and tea are not in evidence. The chap manipulating the "cleaning rod" is probably pushing the rod into the chamber where the chap on the right will attach the bore brush. More muscular strain would be shown is the brush was in fact attached and in the bore. Or the gun has misfired and the gallant lad on the left is expeditiously removing the recalcitrant round.

If the latter, I hope that semi-twisting grip he's got is loosening the fuze. Here's what the critter looks like when it's on the job.

heh..nobody went for it. I see the place has gone down hill during my sabatical. As for the picture, gives a whole new meaning to "ramming".

Welcome back, Kat - but that isn't what I was going after. I figured the older warriors among us would bring up the old training films...

This is the path I was waiting for the Auld Farts to travel down. This is why Doc's job sucks. Click on the pictures link if you have a strong stomach or hate your job and co-workers.

"This is why Doc's job sucks. Click on the pictures link if you have a strong stomach or hate your job and co-workers." I was tempted. Ohhhh, I was sorely tempted.

I stole a 105 once. Happy days.

Ooo. D'you still have it? Can I have it? Can we get it into small enough parts to get it into the mails?

Hmm tricky... last time I saw it it was parked in the middle of the grunts parade ground.
