I remember some mortar rounds @1500 and maybe M72s. Grenades we were using were definitely just over $600. Cheap ass Singaporean. However, I can can understand why they would have charged OCS extra as they would all require extra instructions and even brail on the grenade, that would certainly cost more money.

Brail wouldn't be enough.

When we first went to the grenade range I remember one guy dropped the grenade out the back of his hand as he went to throw it. Only the sharp action of the NCO instructor saved him.

They questioned the idiot afterwards, turned out he had been homeschooled and had never played any sport ever. One would think in this country that throwing a ball to be second nature. But nope.

Hes now a Major. Lol
