Pretty much shows, that people haven't been in the army. Those with the minecraft character as avatars etc. You can expect a lot of shit in the army. Your whole company will have to wake up in the middle of the night, because there is this one room, whose trash can had one candy wrapper in it. "What should we do, to make sure this never happens again?" "Oh I know, grab the shovels and lets bury your fallen comrade pvt. Candy Wrapper like a true soldier" And then you'll dig a fucking 2m deep grave for that candy wrapper, salute it when he's lowered into the grave, sing the anthem and dig all the dirt back in the grave. Not to mention, you can't dig mindlessly. You'll have to remove the top soil carefully first, so you can place it all back later. And then you'll go in the showers, whole company has to clean up in 15 minutes and by that time it's already 6:00AM and you'll have to wake up. Most likely the OP was smoking when he wasn't allowed to. So he had to bury the cigarette butt in the same manner.

When your survival and combat effectiveness depends on how well you make your fighting position, its best to get it right whilst you've got the chance! As civilians, digging a survival space may be the only means to have shelter from the elements, so knowing how to do it right is worth learning. Going to ground takes on a whole new meaning when you're actually sheltered below the surface.

What about a grenade sump? We had 3 guys build a fighting position where the trail entered our area of operations by digging down & building up using sand bags & then berming the dirt on the outside we had it covered but I don't remember what all we used. We added foliage all around & over with a small tree on top. To include the M60 on tripod. The Capt. & 1St Sargent came into the area about dusk creeping along real slow lights out foot on the brake. First thing they know I'm almost nudging the 1'st Sargent in the ribs with an M16. The stopped real fast. He asked where did you come fro> I pointed & said over there . He said over where. He said I don't see any fighting position. I said that's the general idea. They had to get out of the Humvee & inspect the fighting position. It's worth a good laugh when those in command get surprised.

The upper soil was too loose to dig with our little shovle so we had to dig by hand. Underneath there were a lot of tree roots we had to chop through. It was a lot of work.

My daughter and I were near Bastogne back in 2013 and visited the woods overlooking the village of Foy. To our surprise the Airborne's "fox holes" are still there - guess they were too busy to fill them in afterwards! Not as deep as this because the ground is thick with pine tree roots but even so they look like so many shallow graves. A hot September day out in the sunshine, the chill in the shadows was enough to quickly drive us away. As my daughter said: "the place has a bad feel about it." If you're ever near go take a visit and try and figure out how they managed to leave the relative safety of their holes and walked across nearly a mile of open, snow covered field to attack their objective.

edwardstarcock swinger In the beginning, you really have to try and keep the thought of your head that you may very well be digging your own grave. Once you've dug a few, you almost wish that it were your grave

They're nicknamed graves sometimes, although that usually refers to the shallow, sleep forever kind.
@yoehzeryeeftahk72916 жыл бұрын
If it was a grave there would be no reason for the dirt to be place evenly all around it. Graves are dug woth the dirt in one pile.

Dug these in Nam every time our platoon, company, and battalion set up in a perimeter for the night or longer. No matter how deep I dug it, when we took incoming mortar or artillery it never felt deep enough. When I stood up in my fighting hole the edge of it was about chest high.

Nice work, looks like you made a two man fox hole. Using a E-tool takes twice the effort, bet that was a good work out. No grenade sump? Army parapets only have a 6 inch shelf for resting your elbows. Looks like the marines do it a little different. FM 15-5 is a pretty good read, you should check it out. Great job, just 1 critique: Clear away some brush from your field of fire. Awesome vid!

I had to dig fighting positions by the score at Ft. Lewis, Wa back in the day. Complete with overhead cover, grenade sump, and everything else. Two shovel full of rock for every shovelful of dirt; what a pain. No need to put in a water sump; as much as it rained Western Washington it would be useless. Just watching this makes my back hurt.
