When I was serving some crews were known to put oily/greasy rags around the stand-off of a HEAT round.  Was said to have made a more spectacular fire ball than normal.

A racoon.

Apparently some industrious person attempted to start a business with them in Germany and they escaped captivity.  It has been my experience that they will generally run away from people unless a food source is involved.  Then they might be willing to see how willing a person is to fight them over it.  Others have made pets of them.

Be glad it isn't for trash pandas.

"Battlesight gunnery is the most rapid method of engaging an enemy target and is preferred when quick target engagement is required, and when the target is within battlesight range" ...  "is used when an accurate tank-to-target range cannot be determined, when the computer is inoperative, or in most surprise situations"

These are essentially the same statement just from different eras.  FM 17-12 was written before the LRF came into wide=spread use on tanks, FM 3-20 after.

Absolutely. It is no accident that tank crews were on double rations, at least back in the day. You had to be careful with your eating habits once that you were transferred to some other activity.

I wish.

A, please.

You know that you can get a kit with all switches & electronics plus 3D print files for the handles from AFV Sim, right?

No, I didn't.

Might I suggest...

 I am a little taken aback at the level of immaturity around the suggestion on this board.  I would expect it from World of Tanks/Warships or the ilk.  But always thought the SB community was a little beyond that in its make up.  Expectations are now reset.

Please don't read too much into anyone's posts.

I replied to a specific statement.  I did not imply anything about what I would do If I came upon leaked classified documents, on line or off.

Technically as your platoon leader, I am not asking you to come. 
 

 

I am ordering you. 😉

Ja, mein Leutnant, sofort, mein Leutnant, ich werde da sein, mein Leutnant!

Thank you, Higgs.

 I plan on being there this weekend.

Odd that it's age restricted.

...possession of stolen material is a crime regardless of how one came to possess it.

That is patently false.  Read up on the Pentagon papers.

It looks good.  👍

Most likely I won’t be able to make it.

Most likely will not be there this week.
