“Take grenade!” ordered the Drill Instructor (a Senior D.I. from another platoon), I forgot that meant to just open my hands and to receive the grenade, so I took it out of the hand of a shocked Drill Instructor!

STOP!!!! He ordered, let’s do this again, “take grenade Private”, I still hadn’t locked on yet and thought he wanted me to be more assertive this time? So I yanked the fucker out of his tightly clenched fist!!! He was pissed! STOP!!!! He called over to my Senior D.I. and said “watch this” TAKE GRENADE” I then remembered, oh yeah just open my hands and “take grenade”, when I did that he got a grin on his face and told my Senior, “we were about to go to blows over this f’ing grenade and I wanted you to watch, but for some reason the Private has changed his mind” I saw this amused my Senior so I knew then all was clear! I took grenade, chucked it and we hit the deck, BOOM!!!!
