Post subject:  Couldn't take it - had to surrender

On another site someone was posting about getting stung by wasps. Herein follows my wasp war story...

Back in the day at Camp Lejeune, my squad was designated bad guys for a training scenario and took position in a small abandoned building. The good guys were supposed to effectively assault the building in a manner that would minimize casualties.

I had an M-60 with belt of blanks for the exercise. We soon saw the good guys putting the sneek on us. When they got a little closer, I ripped off half a belt just to let them know they weren't fooling anybody.

Rat-a-tat-tat... **sting, sting, sting!** Dang! There were 2 big wasp nests in the building we hadn't noticed & one was right above me! They did NOT like MG fire and attacked! I got nailed several times in just a few seconds.

We surrendered. Training cadre laughed their butts off.

Other than always watch for wasps, a big lesson I learned was that I never fired blanks again. They crap up a gun like you can't believe! SW
