    Can you use a hammer? The idea is to hit the bomb/mine really hard. If it goes bang, it was live. If it doesn't, then job done and you can pop down the NAAFI

    Dont do it - they are still using CDBA plus the replacement is delayed whilst Divex sort out their design issues. Of course if I was still the Project Manager none of this would be a problem

    Besides, CD's are just weird! They llike running in mud and jumping off high platforms - still havent figured out what that has to do with diving.

    I've been told the new one wont be in use for another 12/18 months?, with the waiting list and all i wont be starting basic training for another 8 months or so and wont finish professional training until 7 months after that so i don't think thats something to worry about.

    What were you the project manager of MaryS?
