Very interesting, great documentation always make for great explanation!

I had trouble w/ the volume - no sound. U-tubes only have sound when played via my Apple TV. Help please u-tube playing on iPad!

We always called the M-1 an ‘Idiot Stick’.

Why an "Idiot Stick", CSM Charles Hayden? I've never heard that.

The ‘real old’ Army’s MOS of 1741 for ‘Light Infantry’ was for bottom of the barrel draftees in 1953. Therefore they were trained un the use of an “Idiot Stick”!

I'm glad I finally got the name right, in the Army there were alot of GI's that there last name was pronounced wrong, even with my last name with only 4 letters was said wrong. But there were some that were just pronounced as, "Alphabet", and the person knew that they were calling him. Lol
