I graduated 6 years ago with an 86% I got in. Again just do your best. If your marks were good enough to get accepted you are not going to drop enough to get kicked out
No i agree what Rogo said was ill conceived and in poor taste. However there is a difference between being a half step behind on getting your hand out of the way when firing a mortar (simple, bad timing, bad luck) and using a live round of ammunition as a hammer (stupidity, or unforgivable...
I dunno, I have fairly large hands and holding a 50 it might have a little bit of the bullet inside my hand but it would be right at the neck. Anyways I think the likely answer to his question is exploding case/ high pressure gas did the lions share of the damage

"Most people who wear an anarchy T-shirt are scrawny little white kids. You really think you are gonna be the big cheese when the world comes crashing down? Or do you think you'll be dead within 15 minutes some huge Mad Max Biker using your skull...

Yeah, gotta say while I do not agree with their cause, they are protesting peacefully. There is no flag burnings or weapons. They do not appear to be out of control. So let them protest. I just do what I do to all legal and lawful protests, ignore them.
Holy crap!! I mean I'm just about ready to pass the express but no where near ready for the PPT, Working as hard as I can and plan to be there by the time i get to RMC (I may not make it but I'm trying) I figure if I fail the first time at least after FYOP i'll definately be making it. How can...
