Our military adopting the Grendel?

[sgt_murf]

Regarding training, my son was stationed in Korea before his first trip to the sandbox. During that time he was obliged to train his unit on the .50 BMG M-2. Do you know how much experience this magnificent trainer had on the weapon before meeting his troops?

Depends on how you define "experience." You guessed it, his long and in-depth experience consisted of reading the manual in the few evenings between getting the assignment and doing the training.

So, yes, I can see where one needs to think about the skill levels and attitudes of the user when developing advocacy arguments for change, or for maintaining the status quo...

Not to take away from his vast knowledge, and to be funny yet make a point that everything is not in the manual. What does he do (use) when he loses the Headspace and timing gage and HAS to re-set it now (incorrectly done can be deadly for the user though)
