Stupidity comes in
MANY forms. I provide one real life example while I was onboard at that time
PCU NEBRASKA SSBN-739 @ Electric Boat (
EB) Groton, CT. IN '92/'93.
A
senior Torpedo Man (
TM) First Class (
E6) while searching for wire suitable for hooking up the speakers to his home entertainment and music system in the
shipyard came across the "
find of his life" when he came across more than he needed, and we all know "
more is better".
After work he promptly went home with his "
treasure" hooked everything up, inspected his work and found all was in order. When he turned it on, he
blew up all his equipment, was thrown across the room and suffered from burns on his hands and body and also managed to start a fire in his house. Fortunately, his Wife and kids were in another room at the time and suffered no injuries.
He would make the
USN wide QTRLY. Safety Bulletin (A TM1/SS at...) and as you can imagine launch an investigation leading to fines against the contractor for improper disposal of an explosive equip. and more.
The bottom line here is don't use
DETONATION CORDS FOR YOUR HOME ELECTRONICS!!!! You know what's coming...
So, in the spirit of the above, and to "
lighten up" the mood around here let's start with the following video I sometimes wish I could use it at work however it might seem inappropriate. One of my heroes from back in the day...

So, in a bid to do the same as all above a Russian Sargent does this...

Ammo we got that to...

Tank repairs we also have that...

There were also several reports last week of a Russian artillery crew blowing themselves and their "
tube" up while conducting an attack.
All tragic and it's what happens on a battlefield when in constant contact with your adversary.
Cartman and I hope you won't handle any explosive devices
anytime soon and because Cartman is afterall Cartman...
