  3.  @sharonrigs7999  we had two on the Tender; '89-'93. One was a modified '03 Springfield, the other a modified M-14. Lots of shotguns in the Armory, but not a one of them rigged as a line thrower.

  4.  @BatCaveOz  if you'd ever done UNREP it wouldn't seem weird at all; it's a dangerous and difficult evolution, that Sailors do, somewhere, pretty much every day. Blue water Sailors take pride in their skills, and get to do the hard jobs; being one of them is a badge of honor.
