Also enjoy learning about the Navy side of things on "Babes in the Open, Fire for Effect!" When I was a Weapons Platoon Leader in Germany, one of my mortar section leaders had been a Forward observer in Nam. He was trying to get some support for his unit when a powerful signal came in, offering help. He gave the target coordinates, then the station told him "Roger. Advise that this will be "Danger Close since you are within 1 kilometer to target" . He replied, "Who are you, and What the hell are you firing?" <br /><br />"This is USS New Jersey, firing 16" Naval rifles." <br /><br />Oh yes, he pulled his unit back and then the earth shook. <br /><br />Anyway, glad I'm finding several progressive Liberal military officer bloggers like you, Jim Wright of Stonekettle Station, and MC Farrell. <br /><br />Happy Holidays! <br /><br /><br />Jack the Cold WarriorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
