91. On a rifle range at Fort Drum, NY
Wed Oct 30, 2024, 05:16 PM
Oct 2024

In the 10th Mountain Division it is required that when a unit does its annual weapons qualification it has to go to the field on Monday, return on Friday and do other field training during that week. (As opposed to Field Station Berlin, my previous unit, where you went to the range, did your weapons zero and qualification exercise in just a couple hours, or in the 101st Airborne where we set up all the ranges we'd conduct that week and just send troops to the ones they had to attend - as a Screaming Eagle issued an M203 grenade launcher I had to fire a rifle qualification and a grenade launcher qualification, and our officers did pistol qualification.)

Well anyway, when you go to the woods in 10th Mountain you eat MREs at least once a day. I have NO idea why they let me eat MREs because my MRE farts are classified as Prohibited Chemical Weapons by an international agency based in The Hague. But...they did.

So I'm out there on the range getting ready to fire in the Prone Supported position and I let loose a stink bomb that cleared the range for fifteen minutes. Army ranges are outdoors, so you can pretty much envision how bad these things are.
