...And People say I'm Nuts!
You guys just keep running INTO burning buildings!
Be advised, there is something seriously wrong between those ears guys. I should know.

Just kidding, you guys know we all love ya!
But I'll stick with bombs, and my fantasy world where I'm the normal one, and you guys are the weird ones! LOL!

Keep your heads down, and take care of all the other charcoal briquets.
Cheers,
Mike

I don?t know, I have run into many a burning buildings, but fiddling around with bombs is ... well it?s just not right <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />. I have had two incidents with suspicious packages calls that make me think that all is not quite right up there <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />.

The first was a Medic unit standby, while the Bomb Squad using a robot, examined a suspicious package with wires sticking out of it. We were standing behind the corner of a building when all of sudden we heard this loud bang, <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I think I jumped 3 feet up while one of the other members of the crew must have jumped 6 feet straight up, a couple of others took off running <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />. The Bomb Squad decided to blow the package up with a shotgun blast from the robot without letting any of us know the plan. We all had a good laugh <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> at our reaction over that call.

The second was again on the Medic unit to standby and provide pre and post vitals for the guy getting all decked out to inspect the suspicious box. We were making small talk with him and asked how much protection the suit offered, he just laughed and said the suit only kept the body parts together, making it easier for the corner <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />. He said the concussion of the blast would kill and then basically jellify the internal organs, but at least they could find all of his body parts with relative ease <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />. He was one pumped up dude <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />, saying he could not wait to get out there. His BP was a little high (no wonder), so we made him wait a few minutes to calm down. He finally went out, the package turned out to be nothing, but his reaction gave us pause for thought about his sanity <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.

Yeah, that sounds about right. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
And for future reference, we dont tell a lot of people when we are about to disrupt a device, just to watch them jump. That is unless, we can see the shot, and then you can usually watch us stare and drool on ourselves.

Keep your heads down,
Mike

> making it easier for the corner

Presumably he meant "coroner". (Apologies if you knew this - your smiley, together with the spelling mistake, made it unclear.)

Hi Alex,

I prefer raisins and canned, smoked almonds as high calorie, hi fat, hi salt emergency food that is very tolerant of adverse weather conditions and somewhat friendly to people with non-nut food allergies.

The water purification tabs could be replaced with a Katadyn filter that would last much longer.

The sleeping pad mentioned earlier is a great idea along with very warm sleeping bags.

I was able to spend 3 months in Germany during the early 90's in the military. Germany is a wonderful country with awesome scenic areas!!!!
