We're glad you are participating there, Boats! I probably need to 'splain why I gave one example from BATFE and another from USN, to show that the use of the term "magazine" meaning any land-based structure or even open area set aside for storing explosives is a pretty widespread thing. Bunkers are for people or earlier, for coal. Magazines are for explosives. And yeah we beat the s--t outta that topic, didn't we? </p><p><br /></p><p>Do keep participating and I don't mind at all being challenged on anything I write here, but the chances of beating me down on the topic of military Ordnance are I think small, I spent 34 years combined active USN and Civil Service, much of it involved with Ordnance, then spent another 12 years selling Ordnance in my small business, so I picked up a few tidbits of knowledge here and there.
