About
Department of Defense - Description: AS THIS PROGRAM BEGINS, AN ANXIOUS SOLDIER AND HIS WIFE RUSH THEIR SON TO THE HOSPITAL. AN EXPLOSION IN HIS BEDROOM SEVERLY INJURED THE BOY. THE STORY GOES ON TO SHOW CARELESS HANDLING OF AN EXPLOSIVE DEVICE WHICH ALLOWED THE CHILD TO PICK UP A 40MM GRENADE DUD AND TAKE IT HOME. A DUD IS DEFINED AS ANY EXPLOSIVE DEVICE WHICH HAS FAILED TO DETONATE AFTER BEING FIRED. MANY SOLDIERS IGNORE REGULATIONS AND COMMON SENSE, TAKING DUDS HOME FROM FIRING RANGES OR TRAINING AREAS. THIS PROGRAM CAUTIONS THAT THE FIRST RULE IS NEVER TOUCH A DUD, AND THE SECOND RULE IS TO REPORT IT TO AUTHORITIES SO IT CAN BE DISPOSED OF SAFELY. DESCRIBES A COLLECTION OF DANGEROUS DEVICES WHICH MAY LOOK SMALL AND HARMLESS, BUT WHICH CAN EXPLODE FROM MINOR VIBRATION, HEAT OR HUMIDITY CHANGES. THIS INCLUDES TRAINING SIMULATORS WHICH CAN SEVERELY BURN OR MAIM. DUDS MAY BECOME MORE SENSITIVE WITH AGE. IF FOUND, DUDS SHOULD NOT BE TOUCHED, THE SPOT SHOULD BE MARKED, AND A REPORT SHOULD BE MADE IMMEDIATELY TO GET AN EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL (EOD) TEAM INTO ACTION. - PIN 701607
