Off the coast of Vietnam, the Marine contingent aboard a Navy vessel was observing the sailors taking gunnery practice at a towed target. The sailors were not scoring many hits. A Marine officer approached the Captain of the vessel and told him he had a Marine who could hit the towed target with the M-79. Disbelieving this to be possible the Captain said the Marines would be relieved of any details and go fishing for the day if the Marine could hit the target.<br />The Marine officer asked Jackson if he thought he could hit the target. Jackson answered in the affirmative. He put the grenade through a tear in the target that had been opened up by the sailor's previous firing. The target was destroyed. The Captain gave the order to "...break out the fishing gear." The Marines had the rest of the day off.waepnedmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07114411043832799988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-90621310656141915012013-11-15T08:29:07.025-05:002013-11-15T08:29:07.025-05:00Back in the day, Enlisted Marine Randy Jackson was...Back in the day, Enlisted Marine Randy Jackson was a wizard with the M-79.
