Unless I'm guarding my cat hole, maybe. 613621[/snapback] Careful or Toms cats will want one, if they read this board again.
Ghost of BiB Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 See, in the Army this is an entrenching tool. Digs Holes We usually had better things to do than try to bury ourselves with pooper scoopers.

That and water borne taxi service are two of the things the Navy does right.

Tough choice here."

None of this is germane to the thread. Sorry, Scraps.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

VABills Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 GG said: Now you're going to tell me that a civilian ditch digging is different than military entrenching? 613666[/snapback] Correct. In the military it is just make the hole big enough for yourself. In civilian you need county permits, have to grease palms, must be of exacting dimensions, and must be inspect prior to occupying the foxhole, and of course you have to grease the inspectors palm.
Ghost of BiB Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 GG said: Now you're going to tell me that a civilian ditch digging is different than military entrenching? 613666[/snapback] Requires a lot of repetitve training and a manual.

Shovel folds in... Shovel folds out. Shovel folds in... Shovel folds out.
