That's why the issue Leather Personnel Carriers (LPC).. Indeed BUT towed artillery can pull FSVOPull their piece. 8^) Remeber gunbunnies ALWAYS swab the breech and lube before ramming a round in.

Another exception is an Army bandsman, who can FSVO play his clarinet. Remember bandsmen ALWAYS swab the clarinet and lube once in a blue moon, after each gig. The bandsman's idea of bivouac is the Fairfield Inn. -- HPT

That's because clarinets constantly dribble whilst playing. Fluteists constantly rod out after every performance...lube is prn. According to my eldest who is THE smartest guy I know...flute section in his high school band has 6+ girls and just him. 8^) Hmmm...surrounded by women. hmmm...yep he's smarter than either of us. > The bandsman's idea of bivouac is the Fairfield Inn. heh tru that. |
