I did a project at Anniston where I had to carry two respirators one that I wore for work and one that I carried in case the alarms went off next-door the incinerator. The good news is they were finished with the VX the bad news was they were burning mustard. Never needed the one on my hip.

I've read accounts of where ordnance-types working the site had to enter on hands and knees just to pick through and navigate between all the random pieces of ordnance strewn about by random high-order events. That said, I've enjoyed many a bag lunch in front of that gate!

I mean... I've been....... like....... STUPID drunk before..... Like...... REALLY. FUCKING. STUPID. DRUNK...... But I don't think I've ever reached a state of inebriation needed for something like this to happen...

i could potentially see them having to remove the optics for transport/ storage.....and they clip it to the rail so optics stay with the rifle
most optics retain zero....so once they deploy, they just mount them properly....
thats my educated guess.
That is actually very reasonable. Packing crates have limited space and the rifle with the optic placed on top may take up more space than the container allows. I've shipped open-top Colt style revolvers that I had worked on back to clients partially disassembled before, due to me having only tiny shipping cartons on hand. Too small for the revolver to go in fully, but once the barrel taken off the arbor, both parts can be snugly wrapped and nestled in without much hassle with room for filler material... I can see that happening there too...
you might want to look up the definition of tarmac. Because, that isn't tarmac.
Very overused/misunderstood word.
Just FYI, not the grammar police
Been there several times doing the grocery runs in C141s back in the day.
It's got an awful lot of history not related to Amelia Earhart's disappearance.
That's odd. Even all the time I spent on the flightline at Mildenhall and Lakenheath or even Stetford airport, the larger area was still called "tarmac"
Don't forget the time difference, Bourbon time down here...
Or Spec Timmy snores or bogarted the good stuff out of the MREs and his squad buddies decided to make him famous when the CNN crew was going to show up.
Making Army Jerry proud!!

That there is called a RAMP... Its made of asphalt...
Let me straighten the rest of you gay boys out who are arguing over airport definitions.
On an airport we got RAMPS... Thats where you park airplanes typically... the guys that park/load and unload airplanes arent called "tarmackers" they are called "rampers"....
We got TAXIWAYS... and we got RUNWAYS...
They are all made out of concrete OR asphalt these days.
As @Belt fed correctly points out TARMAC is a specific type of product GENERALLY not used since I believe WW2...but term seems to endear. Tarmac is a lot like chip seal...or out in the country they will spread gravel and then spray oily tar on it...
