May 1989 - Jun 1989

Weapons specialist

None | Aberdeen Proving Ground

I got the highest GPA in 45b class in yrs. I was selected to go help work on the sear for the M16A2 and the 3 round burst. And also worked on the barretta 9mm mwo, modified work order, to solve the problem of the military grain ammo cracking the slides. They wld crack and fly off of the lower receiver hitting soldiers in the face. We solved the problem by replacing the hammer pin with a half moon pin that rode in a grove cut in the slide so when it cracked it cldn't come off... All of this before being permanently assigned to 542nd assured Support. They want the best to support the best.

I'm sure I have the exact months wrong. But things I will never forget. We sat at FOB viper. Anything broke we fixed it asap. When the ground war started, we ran with, and Combat patched with 24th Mec ID. An experience I will never forget. U don't know what a tank division is capable of until you see it first hand.
