I'd hate to be the IO for that Report of Survey. Even worse would be the guy at fault! Even back then, those babies had to be expensive...

#4: Re: M551 Fire (1978) Author: Dontos, Location: Vine Grove, KYPosted: Thu Nov 04, 2010 11:24 am ---- I vaguely remember hearing about that. I was a Senior in High School in El Paso in 78. There were a number of training incidents on Ft Bliss that I heard about from 1977-1982.
When one works at the Officers Club, you tend to hear about all those things that don't seem to make the news....
