i think that is a switchboard. the operators use it to connect the
lines. now i think it is automated. i'm not sure what it could be if
it were not that.
i was never trained a shooting by anyone other than my father who had
me shoot a tin cans, and i did this when i was in my 20s. most of the
sights were off on the old guns we shot, but i hit dead on on most of
them. i had military training for a day in training for the navy, and
in the final for bootcamp we had to shoot a real 9mm and a fake 12
gauge. i did really good, even though i missed the class because i had
to stand a watch. the navy does not train much on hand to hand combat,
so training mostly went to fire fighting. that would make sense because
most of the 4 years you will spend in the navy will be in cramped up
spaces on ships. fire fighting in those kind of living coniditions is
a must.
