new job...wooowhoooo

[mrray13 30]

today i started my new job...

i run the machine that inserts/crimps the projectile into the case of the 30mm round fired in the A-10 (warthog) Thunderbolt tank buster attack plane.

we load TP (target practise) HEI, AP (depleted uranium and others) and several others.

the TP projectile weighs in at .84 pd.....hehe..cool huh? that works out to a 5,880 grain bullet...

anyway, i think i now have the coolest job ever.....btw, the pay is good, the benefits great and i don't work hard...

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Last summer I worked as a lumberjack on an army base. It was at Ft. Drum, NY. They had a squad of A-10's. We were at one of the OP's looking into the impact area and some A-10's were doing maneuvers that day. It was unbelievable to see them firing. It doesn't even sound like a machine gun. It was like "BRRRRRAAAAAPPPPPP" and it was a few hundred rounds. Then you would just see clouds of dust from the impacts.
