"We didn't and we won't but he won't know about it."

Yes and so are cpl,s i was on the ranges in Germany , and was commanding a Scimitar , when i had a misfire , i promptly changed the flags and reported misfire to the control , the officer in charge , Mjr Lloyd Edwards immediadelty demanded to know what type of misfire it was ? ( i was trying desperatley to clear the soddin gun , and replied straight away , control it is the old yellow blue type misfire ( at this point an explanation is required ) on the early gunnery system it had a round color indicator on the gun case to show which type of misfire it was and the commander carried out the correct action to clear it , but it was later discarded ? Now having known said Mjr had not worked on the early system , he hadnt a clue what i was talking about , and not to show his ignorance he shut up and let me get on with it , which i did and carried on the range run , when i got back he asked me what the misfire was and i replied again the old yellow blue sir , oh ok , then Cpl H well done and off he went satisfied , i wonder if he ever found out what it was ? please dont ask as i dont ####### know either , but i know what caused the misfire
