gunner's harness - a series of straps that go over each shoulder, around the waist and under the groin and are buckled in the front. it then connects to the floor of an open top gunner's turret such as on a humvee or mrap. it's designed to keep the gunner inside the vehicle in case of a roll over or large ied.
t-wall - simply a large slab of concrete that rings virtually every U.S. building in iraq.
ok, now it's story time.
a couple of days ago it was the CO's (commanding officer's) birthday, and we celebrated it like the dutiful soldiers were are. he knew we had a surprise planned for him, and he thought he was prepared. he wasn't. leading up to the surprise he was walking around with a hand mike (think corded telephone), swinging it around like nun-chucks thinking it would keep him safe. silly, silly CO.
on the signal we rushed him, picked him up and forcefully put him into a gunner's harness. he put up a good fight, but was no match for us. after getting him into the gunner's harness we duct taped his hands and feet together, connected the gunner's harness to a pulley system we had rigged up earlier, and hoisted him between two t-walls. this was a birthday party so of course there was cake. but since he was swinging back and forth and still making futile attempts to escape we couldn't give him a plate with cake on it and had to settle for throwing it at him. it was kinda like the carnival game where the ducks go back and forth and you have to knock them down with a ball. except it was our CO tied up and we were throwing cake at him.
NO CO'S WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS POST
