Came across this one the other day, thought it might be a useful topic on the utility, or futility, of safety bulletins.
A soldier decided to use the base of a 50 cal round to hammer a mount pin into place, and almost lost his hand in the process. Consequently a safety bulletin was put out to warn soldiers not to do this.
To some it might seem like these kind of bulletins are unnecessary, yet these incidents do happen, and with larger calibre weapons too operated by a crew.
So I think these kind of bulletins serve their purpose, if nothing else to remind leaders/supervisors just how incredibly foolish their charges can be.
So for those who require more supervision than others....
