VABills Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 ...that looks a lot like a shovel. 613619[/snapback] So. A drone looks like a remote control airplane , but everyone knows it is a harm launching platform that can carry corrosive nerve agent munitions.

VABills Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 OK. If my life depends on unfolding a travel shovel to defend myself, I'd say I have bigger problems. Unless I'm guarding my cat hole, maybe. 613621[/snapback] Careful or Toms cats will want one, if they read this board again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of BiB Posted February 28, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and water borne taxi service are two of the things the Navy does right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
