Default RE: Does the military not teach???

It all depends on your job description. When I was in, I only learned the basics because I was in an artillery unit. But you can bet your ass Iknew how todo my job to the letter. I have a friend that was a sniper that hasFORGOTTEN more than most of us will ever learn about "ballistics and related topics". When he first started telling me about howhe uses the heat vapors coming up from the ground to judge his windage and where he was going to aim for his kill shot, I thought he was full of chit. I've known him alot longer now and I know he is for real, and I can't wait for the basic lessons he is planning on giving me this summer. Our military does alot better job than some might think, but there isno way they have the time or the money to train the cook to be an expert in ballistics.
