looks like someone wasnt listening during his cache classes

[sfmedicw9]

This story seems a bit "off" to me - what SF guy would have explosives "partially buried" in his yard? If it was a team guy bad on him

the article (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hHtqs6fPfL0tpK30LxPz8CslAiHQD9BNMNNG3)

Times have changed - this actually made national news. It used to be that everyone had a cache of something stashed somewhere - I feel sorry for the poor bulldozer operator that has to work anywhere on smoke bomb hill or along Grueber road and community access

I knew medics that could have opened their own hostpitals. Not to mention the demo guys that had preffered accounts with chemical supply companies

fuck no sense of humor anymore

Exactly the conversation that I had with a friend today...err..umm..I mean that a friend had with me. :biggrin:

Not only that, but you are then labled a domestic terrorist and placed on a watch list... :rolleyes:

I for one find this incredibly shocking. I'm sure no one on this board would ever have anything to do with illicit procurement of weapons, munitions, high explosives, or other assorted and sundry military equipment. Everyone on this site is a professional of the highest moral caliber.

Here, Here!!! We will drink to that, especially on Independence Day. Not sure where the cool pyro techincs come from,lol.

I do believe that some SF guys on Bragg had shit buried in their back yard in the 80's. Come to think of it, most team rooms had ahhh, never mind.

Best bet is to hide everything in plain sight.

If you're somebody in demo, take a pottery class, or go work for a country club with liberal gopher eradication guidelines.

Who is the gopher's ally? The harmless squirrel, and the friendly rabbit.

:biggrin:

I suspect that the unit he belonged to found something amiss.

Which is good. I can't think of a single reason an active duty soldier should have any C-4, much less a hundred pounds of the stuff, buried in his yard.

Coming soon to a Special Forces unit near you - Range Safety Officers, QASAS, and draconian accountability measures...

Welcome to how the rest of the Army now lives.

I can remember when just about everyone carried demo in their ruck for missions (live fire FTX) and the guy that did the demo was the guy that could do the math- no matter what rank.

Now a soldier has to be a SSG or above to be a demo guy and go to a demo certification course, and have a saety officer inspect his demo before blowing it.

But, hey, that's tactical...:rolleyes:

I was down at JRTC a few years back, killing time till our exfil. (I was playing OC for a "downed aircrew" in the free-play there...we'd already gotten recoved but had scheduled pickup scripted, so we had to play along).

I saw a couple MRE packages half buried, a 5 gallon jerry can, and a plastic bag with something in it. I nudged the plastic bag and it felt solid, so I cut it open. 8 or 9 bricks, C4, right there for the world to see. I had no idea WTF to do with it, so I marked it on my GPS and told the boss-man when I got back...wonder if it's still out there :)

I have a poored concrete silo to take down. That would have helped a whole bunch:biggrin:

Wow only partially buried, has there been a lot of rainfall there lately or what? Funny how he automatically gets arrested for having two unregistered guns and would probably face explosive possession charges later, this from a state where I got used to seeing guys wearing six-shooters like they were in the wild west.

[sfmedicw9]

yea thats the rub - everyone knows in SF that it has to be a least 13 inches deep

bugeater - you didn't write the coords down did you?

[SOTB]

Funny how he automatically gets arrested for having two unregistered guns....I wonder, were these guns NFA-required guns, or are they trying to say that each and every gun you own must be registered?

[Snowball]

It was in Federal District Court, so I believe it simply was an NFA violation, not any ole gun.

[Polypro]

Somebody, somewhere, always fills out a 4473...what's the problem? ;)

[sfmedicw9]

You know...I actually still have that GPS at home, and I never purge waypoints...I'll have to check :)

please do :cool:

Bugeater-

Was it honest to god c-4 packaging or just bricks. Cause having been OPFOR out there for a few years, we cached tons of shit in those woods. The eastern portion South Boundary Road looked like 4th of July a couple of times when they did controlled burns. That being said, what you described sounds like one our resupply caches we'd dig in and leave till we needed it. Now if it was real c-4 (we had fake stuff that looked just like it), I'll trade a brick or two for the 2006/2007 JRTC maps I have in the den. :biggrin:
