Robert,Thanks for adding the warning about checking the weight on your fire extinguishers. This should always be done to extinguishers that does not have a gauge. A unit that deployed with us had a fire in there field kitchen. A young Marine grab an extinguisher and charged the flames.{What he lacked in knowledge he made up for in bravery}The CO2 extinguisher was empty. The young Marine did not get hurt, but the Marine who was in charge of checking the fire extinguishers learned..
To err is human
To forgive is divine
Neither of which are
Marine Corps Policy.
One of the few, the proud, Frank
