[Milsurplus] BC-222 in Action

[David Edsall]

Joe and the list,

I have to say it, Joe, but that's the way we were taught to probe for mines 
in basic back in 1954.  We probed very carefully!  As I recall, mines then 
were metal, not the plastic variety.
How do they teach that to the GIs today?
Don't volunteer for mine clearance ;o)
