Crap Throwing Monkey Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 That's a civilian website. What the !@#$ do they know? They probably sell pinecone frag grenades. 613635[/snapback] Yeah. Civilians don't know jack sh-- about shovels. Only Marines.
KRC Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 I've long since figured out that the multi-tool just might be a little too complex in some circles. Shovel folds in... Shovel folds out. Shovel folds in... Shovel folds out. 613699[/snapback] So, it folds in first before it folds out? This is way too confusing.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Requires a lot of repetitve training and a manual. 613681[/snapback] But at least Marines maintain a one-to-one relation between diggers and holes. In the civilian world, you need three other union guys to stand around and watch...

Ghost of BiB Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 He was probably in airborne. Remembers his gay porn days. 613710[/snapback] I saw that. I can't imagine what they could have been thinking. Talk about becoming an instant pariah.
Taro T Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 No. http://www31.brinkster.com/rebellionmarine.../ground-gen.htm 613609[/snapback] QUOTE The Collapsible Entrenching tool has it's origins as far back as Earth's 19th Century. It's purpose is simple, to allow the Marine to 'dig in', to either fortify his/her position with earth or trenches, or dig a hole (commonly known as a 'foxhole') to hide and protect him/herself, without carrying a bulky shovel. This tool attaches easily to the side of a Marines Pack, and is carried by all riflemen, and some officers. As a Secondary, and more deadly option, the entrenching tool it designed to be used as an impromptu battle axe (notice the serrated edges on the right side of the head, designed for this purpose). So, this stowable shovel (with the swivel head) is 4.5 Billion years old? Wow, that's pretty cool.
