     I thought the readers would be interested in a couple things that Mr.
Jewell left out.  Namely the fact that the MLRS is advertised as being capable
of taking out an entire grid square in a single fire-mission.  Also, the text
lists under ten minutes for reloading -- I have talked with NCO's in Arty that
have done it in less than half that time, or so they claim.
