[eb in oregon]

Having once spent 3 years stationed at Ft. Ord I can pretty much say that there is/was no safe space around the billets to fire live ammunition. Ord's rifle ranges were over the beach firing into the ocean. It was restricted waters. The machine gun ranges were inland and situated to fire into hills or a valley, so blanks seem to be what those men were firing.
