12/27/2010
In army basic training, we were required to crawl face-down on the ground under barbed-wire fencing with machine guns firing blank ammunition above us.  Since I am 6 feet 6 inches tall, however, it was impossible for me to accomplish this without my rear end sticking up in the air.  No matter how hard I tried or how loudly the sergeant yelled, I couldn’t keep my behind down.  “Well, Private Olson,” the sergeant said after I finally completed one obstacle course, “one thing’s for sure----- you’ll never take a bullet in the head!”

Blank ammo?  They used live ammo in a 30 cal watercooled Browning when I went through it in 1952.
