Scenario
The last time General Culberston came for a demonstration of the
accurate fire power of the Bradley fighting vehicle, the unit's crack
gunner was selected to put on an
impressive demonstration.
Unfortunately, through a terrible mix-up, the gunner and crew took
the one vehicle from the shop that was badly in need of boresighting.
The results of the demonstration were less than impressive. Colonel
Howtzer, your post commander who was hosting the general, was
especially less than impressed.
Now, General Culberston has agreed
to
a
return
trip,
and
has
requested
a
"more
definitive"
demonstration.
Captain Carter has been ordered to prepare the
demonstration.
In his unit briefing, he has stated that this
demonstration is going to be *!x**! perfect. With this in mind, he
has ordered that every Bradley in the unit be boresighted in
preparation for the demonstration.
