Seen on a firing range at Grafenhower, Germany...
2nd Lieutenant, half way through his first tour is on the machine gun range getting ready for the .50-caliber table. It's the first firing of the day, and everyone is just waiting for the morning fog to lift.
He's in his coupla, the range is hot, he's got 210 rounds of .50 ball-n-tracer, and several deer are spotted downrange...
Needless to say, our avid hunter burns the belt out, shredding four deer before the screaming of Range Control registered.
Yup! He didn't make his 1st Lieutenant on time, AND the Germans wanted their pound of flesh. It worked out to $900.00 per deer in fines!
