Yes, it's 15 miles. I didn't think it would be that far also but it was.

I've seen a few C-4 explosions, some a bit bigger than 5kg, It's really quite an impressive feeling to behold.

No idea about the window breaking radius though...there were no windows present at the range that day, lol.

Demo ranges on the installations that I've been on are located as far away from everything as possible and many times are in a depression to minimize effects of demo blasts. Also, there is always a maximum allowable weight for an individual demo shot to keep the neighbors friendly

Joint Coordination Center member, Lieutenant Mohammad Salih Talab assassinated
(TFF Press Release)

MOSUL, IRAQ (April 11, 2005) – LT Mohammad Salih Talab, a member of the Explosives Ordinance Disposal section of the Joint Coordination Center, was assassinated on his way to work in northern Mosul today.

This is the third public servant in the Nineveh province to be killed in three weeks – Ajeel Muhsin Al Ajeel, along with his driver, was shot in his vehicle outside Mosul General Hospital on April 10. General Waleed Khashmoula, the Director of the Anti-Corruption Department, was assassinated by a suicide bomber on March 20. Acts such as these demonstrate insurgent’s unwillingness to allow Iraqi citizens to live in peace and choose their own destiny.

Citizen tips continue to make a positive impact
(TFF Press Release)

MOSUL, IRAQ (April 11, 2005) – Multi-National Forces from 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division (Stryker Brigade Combat Team) safely disposed of an improvised explosive device in southwestern Mosul today.

Insurgent activity has taken a marked hit by the valuable information provided to Iraqi Security Forces and Multi-National Forces by Iraqi citizens. Soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment disposed of a buried IED which had wires leading to a pile of dirt.

Recent months have shown an exponential increase in citizen-provided information on anti-Iraqi insurgency. The people of Iraq continue to exhibit active support for their new government by providing information to stop these terrorist activities.

I don't either. All I know was that I got called in front of the Colonel and got a dress down and ordered to pay $1200+ (pay got docked) in damages.

Maybe you got hosed.

A recently commissioned two bar was not going to argue with a four bar.

Certainly not a smart one...

Officer of Engineers

ROTFLMAO! Sometimes, you've just hit the right nerve!

Am I dreaming or did the Colonel just use a massive Net abbreviation?
