Description: The MOS Spotlight column featured the Ammunition Specialist. After several paragraphs describing the facets of this specialized skill, the article mentions SP4 James B. Carroll of the 334th Armed Helicopter Company at Bien Hoa. He said, "Any kind of ammunition is dangerous if not handled properly." Sp4 Michael J. Schultz of the 191st Assault Helicopter Company at Bear Cat said, "Most of the exploding types of ammo are not armed until fired. But it doesn't take much to fire them. It takes 1/2 volt of static electricity to arm the rockets."
