That is not funny, I had a friend that had that happen with a male recruit while he was a pit safety. He fell on the kid to prorect him and got shrapnel in his leg.

Here's one without any shrapnel - just smoke.

I am going to kindly suggest that each recruit be given a tennis ball to see if they have the requisite coordination to actually throw something before being handed a live grenade.

Now, back in my day, we spent a fair amount of time throwing training grenades and grenades with practice fuzes before being handed a live one, but budgets being what they are...

I never threw a practice grenade at the range. Carried them on maneuvers, but only threw live ones at the range,

But what do I know I was just Regular Army Infantry.

she throws like a.........


um, like someone who can’t throw!

It is interesting to note that the range is poorly designed,

It has a trench sump on this side of the wall, requiring the thrower to toss the grenade several feet just to get it over the wall. This does provide safety if a grenade is dropped on this side, but can result in the mishap seen here with a weak thrower.

I was only at two grenade ranges while in. Both were designed so that you were right up against the wall and a weak throw would at least land on the other side of the wall.

I am really amazed that they aren't wearing helmets and vests. Seems like a no brainer. Must not be the US. We had a lot of training with grenades and always wore protective attire. We even did advanced MOUT training where you would pull the pin and release the spoon. Then wait three seconds (American grenades have a 5 second fuse) then throw it into a concrete room. The idea was that the grenade would rattle around for two seconds then explode not allowing defenders to throw or kick it back out at you. I may have counted a little fast as I am fond of my hands and other body parts.

I trained with practice grenades before ever going to the range.

That girls throws about as well as I do. In the presidential physical fitness test in the 7th grade, I threw the softball 88 feet. That's feet, not yards, and that was my best of three. In the 9th grade, I failed to match my 7th grade performance. This illustrates why I was not among the better baseball players in little league. When can't run, throw, hit, or catch, your options for success in baseball are somewhat limited.

Point of the story: never rely on rhino to throw the hand grenade.
