How many people here believe that Obama could have passed the hand grenade throw in basic training?

IE, you have to be able to throw a grenade far enough so that you don't blow yourself up.

Excuse my ignorance, but what happens if you fail this in basic training? You die?

Grenade qualifications are done with practice grenades or simulations- (you can hurt yourself, and I saw a girl blow her pinky off once)- then a live grenade orientation is usually done- note females need to be braver and be closer to the target.

Females should never be issued grenades. Period.

We threw 2 or 3 live grenades from a bunker at Leonard Wood in '88.

Good catch. Also, the name Warren Spahn. Spahn was a rancher in the off season. Does 'Spahn Ranch' ring a bell?
