Maybe he's the CO from the "backwards scope" post?

Still not as bad as the photo of the soldier who set off a .50 cal round by banging it in his hand.

Somewhere I have a pic of a soldier who bit down one a blasting cap before he didn't have a crimper, blew off his jaw/mouth.

That certainly beats this:

"The .50 cal hammer"

Spoiler: Pretty gross photo!

Mod Edit - hid the pic behind a spoiler warning just in case some didn’t want to see it.

Blasting cap mouth guy has been in all TCCC, 68W refresher, and contractor airway classes since 2003. He even made an appearance in civilian trauma ITLS class.

I broke my wrist setting off pen flares by hand. That’s a story for another day though.

Unfortunately, people are going to do dumb-ass things. Young people are almost certainly going to do A LOT of dumbass things.

Some West Point cadets at summer training here a few years back ate some C4 because someone told them it would get them high. Then ended up going to the hospital but I think they were OK after.

I'm just grateful my dumbassery wasn't fatal, crippling, and/or didn't result in a criminal record.

"Ate C4" is a new block on my WTF bingo card.

Who among us hasn't committed a Federal crime? Right? Right? Um, right guys? Guys...?

As a new Private, I spent a summer with range control, sweeping for UXO and watching them blow shit up. I never fucked around with anything live.

Did they talk to any techs before making such catastrophically poor dietary decisions? Just curious…

No fucking doubt, if PT belts and 2 hour safety briefs were used, this shit would not happen!

It sounds just like the kind of snark someone on backstop would tell the cadidiots who are eating into their fishing time.
