October 16, 200816 yr LMFAO Reminds me of some funny stories when we did some MOUT training. We were doing a top-bottom breach of a multi story structure. While the second half of the squad was practicing a bottom-top next door. The other guys doing the bottom-top had the only hooligan we had with us at the time, so we took the sledge to use on the roof entrance door of our building. It was the last exercise of the day(so basically just messing about getting some last minute practices in with practically no supervision as the instructors were watching the second half of my squad on the building next door) and we had just downed a lot of Monsters so we were pretty hyped up. Breacher gets a running start straight towards the door. He nails bolt, door flies open and almost comes off the top hinge. Then he slips and lets go of the sledge and it falls to the ground in the doorway. We had already started moving for our entrance as he hit the door so #1 runs in straight away like a bat out of hell. #2 man rushes to keep up, slips on the handle of the sledge and falls straight forward hitting #1 in the back. #1 grabs the hand rail as there was a steep staircase just in the other side of the door, and in doing so turns to hold on. #2 flew right past him and ended up tumbling ass over tea kettle all the way down the stairs and ends up coming to a stop upside down in the corner of two walls at the bottom, with one of his arms pinning underneath him. We pretty much aborted at that point and called it a day due to none of us being able to breathe due to laughing so damn hard. Was one of the funniest training fuck ups I've ever seen. But that's why they call it training. Practice makes perfect. And I can guarantee none of us will ever make those mistakes again, LOL. Stay Classy.
