Warr

As a senior first lieutenant at Fort Lewis, I suffered a terrible humiliation.
We all know the dangers of the M2 Flex HB cal .50 Machinegun.  Despite all the 
warnings, in prepration for an impending CMMI during an arms room inspection
I did the unthinkable and spent the next two weeks in McChord AFB hospital 
recovering from a thoroughly pulverized toe (those things are heavy).  Worse,
I had three roommates who had crashed helicopters in Vietnam.
