Did they just blow something up in my backyard?

My house has been rumbling for two days now.

It's been there all morning. We're on the west side of town though.

Thought it was thunder yesterday and was all confused, then felt like a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

I don't hear much at work here in JC...you would think you would hear it some, but apparently it's farther north.

hey fort riley, shut up.

Have they not been doing that lately? Seems like they did it about twice a month while I lived in MHK. I kinda dug it but I wasn't living or working in JC. That would have probably sucked in JC.

Well, looks like someone is going to get invaded.

The Army had tanks up on the hill doing gunnery. Videos to follow in the next two weeks if anyone wants to see.

I'm intrigued.

I'm surprised this is a new occurance for you guys. They used to do it pretty frequently. Wonder why they stopped for a while?

Trim · « **Reply #13 on:** November 21, 2010, 09:18:47 PM »

Guess shooting on a hill is better than stabbing in silverados.

We used to go through light bulbs like crazy. Vibrations killed them prematurely. Used to be damn near a weekly thing for a while there.

I am in my 5th yr at ksu, and they have been doing this as long as I can remember. Some people just don't pay attention I guess.

Just means that the women of the greater Manhattan area are safe tonight.

it used to be every thursday afternoon, during the only time i had free to take a nap.

Yeah- Thursday afternoons does sound right. Not exactly the best mid-afternoon lullaby.

JC sucks but not for that reason. Manhattan and JC are about equal distance from the practice range. What's really fun is playing golf at Colbert with people who have no idea how close they are to post.

Does Riley use the range @ Smoky Hills at all or is that just Air Force stuff? I go hunting up there about every year, some really nice muleys there.

steve dave · « **Reply #21 on:** November 22, 2010, 07:28:18 AM »

So we're getting our asses kicked 'nam style over in Afghanistan and these lazy fucks are shooting at the side of a hill over in Junction City? What do we pay them for?

steve dave · « **Reply #22 on:** November 22, 2010, 07:30:31 AM »

Idea: Even if you just need practice you may as well go to some foreignor place and practice because at least you will be keeping them up and blowing their lightbulbs out.

^This is why I should be in charge.

You should e-mail this to whoever is the army's John Currie.
