I don't know to laugh or cry.
Pretty much means that our SFG are useless.
Then again, we were all told that the "LIVE" grenade we were
throwing is only 20% charge, and contained no ball bearings.
Essentially a big-bang. And dear 2LT Kok got a medal for this?
Pardon me for being cynical, but last I recalled, the PC was
supposed to "throw"/ "usher" the recruit over to the OTHER side of
the wall in the event that the grenade dropped inside the throwing
bay.
Changed already. Now the place where they stand to throw is like
a round concrete place with a wall to protect them. The part where
they stand and throw is up a ledge above the ground, and beind got
another concrete circle that is at ground level with the grass.
So if the grenade falls onto where they are supposed to stand
and throw, they are to move back and get down from the ledge (where
they are supposed to stand and throw) and prone down and do the
normal protective measure drill. If the grenade land behind the
concrete circle, then they remain where they are on the ledge and
prone down and do the same.
So in other words, if the grenade is down, you remain up, if the
grenade dropped upstairs, you go down. The command is "pit" and
"bay".
