HAHAHAHAAA!!! That's the one. I remember a long time ago a guy warped a barrel on the patrol boat. He was on shore, and had gotten into a real mess. Wound up putting down cover for the rest of his team after they were noticed by some unfriendly folks. The 2nd skiff was a better lander, so they went in with a 17ft. Boston Whaler for an extraction. He was still hitting it, and then went into the drink with this smoking hot rifle. The barrel warped and a huge steam bolt blasted out and the guys pulling him up got sprayed with it. No serious injuries, but the barrel literally made a wave shape from cooling so rapidly. Kinda like ~....! I always had the utmost respect for him; he would go toe to toe with Godzilla if that was what it took. Anyone in the squad who had their choice always wanted him on their team. Even the SF guys wanted him; they would hit him up to try and draw him into the teams.
He made his mark, and went home to be a regular guy. And we teased him about getting with girls, having a bent barrel and all.....
