Boom, Boom, Pow is what one can expect to hear and feel when the Combat Engineers practice up on their explosive capabilities as demolition experts.
"I haven't done training like this in a long time," said Pfc. Reese Linebarger. "It's always fun to see stuff blow up, especially something you just made for that purpose."
During a training exercise held on a range near Camp Bondsteel, Kosovo, members of the 140th Engineer Support Company got to shake off the cobwebs and brush up on their demolition skills by using one pound bricks of C4 and 20 pound cratering charges.
"Being able to handle and use explosives is like any other skill set, its perishable when not being used or practiced," said 1st Lt. Andrew Lopez-Gallego.
While the Engineers practiced their skills, the rest of Camp Bondsteel got to watch the show and feel as if they were part of the action when the shock wave from each of the explosions that rocked the camp hit them.
