    No, we threw pool parties. My older brother was in the army, watched a dumbass kill himself during basic because he threw the grenade like a baseball, grenade hid the back wall of the pit and bounced right back at him.

    We only fire like 300 in Boot Camp. In SOI after we fire a lot more. Then if you're a Combat Arms, you fire way, way more in the fleet. If you are a pog ass motherfucker working in an office you only fire like 250 a year.

    When I was with 1/1, we had a million rounds we had to get rid of, and me being one of like 10 combat marksmanship instructors, I got to have a lot of fun. We made up courses and shit and then ran people through them.

    Why would you have to get rid of a million rounds? Guessing this was overseas and they didn't want to ship it back to the states?

    No, it was in Camp Pendleton. It ties into the fiscal year and is like money. You get x amount a year and you have to use it all or else you get less next year.

    Good thing our tax money got to be spent buying a million new bullets that weren't needed so that Camp Pendleton could continue getting more than are needed. And people say military spending needs to be cut. Pshaw.
