Chief Master at Arms Nicolasa R. Simmons, of the San Diego-based Coastal Riverine Squadron 3, is also charged with obstruction of justice for impeding a probe into the September 2018 incident by telling her watchstanders “not to report that the unit was not equipped with M4 and M9 magazines” while underway on board the fast transport Carson City, according to charge sheets obtained by Navy Times.

Well, I don't know what all the hub-bub is about. They could fill their pockets with ammo and put one in at a time, if they needed it.
5.56 in the left pocket and 9mm in the right pocket. It's all about shot placement, anyway. :biggrin:
 
Barney Fife, a well-known law-enforcement officer from decades ago, was known to go out with an unloaded handgun and only a single bullet in his breast pocket. By all accounts, it was effective, as crime was not an issue in his jurisdiction.

Carlos Hathcock is that you.

RIP Carlos Hathcock
 
Long trang-white feather was his nickname. A gear shop in Va. Beach sold his T-shirts with his signature feather as a logo.
 
I read about Hathcock's shot in the opening chapter of his auto(?)biography many years ago. No idea of the title but it was a fascinating book.
