Maggie’s Military Jeopardy

This war artifact, located in the last part of the Belgrade Military Museum, is the first known possession of this type of technology held by a foreign power. What is it, and how did they obtain it?

Crew would piss off either side of the bowsprit, the most forward place on the ship. Where the figurehead was. If I'm right, please someone else go. I'm obviously out of good questions.

Thanks. This is a fun game, but it's hard to come up with a really good question. Yours was a good one. Couldn't of answered it except for a recent discussion on the Balkan conflict with a Serbian friend.
 
Why are Marines referred to as "Leathernecks?"

What was the purpose of the quatrefoil on the Marine Officers' cover?

Where did the Marine Dress Blues red trouser stripe come from, and what does it signify?

What is "duece gear", and how did it get its name?
 
Archibald Henderson, air mattress, 782 field gear signed for, blood stripe for Chapultepec. That's all I know. Oh, I think the leather collar was optimistic sword protection.
 
Sniffing for urine
Is correct as urine is loaded with ammonia which is what the sniffer was designed to detect. However Monkey urine is loaded with ammonia as well, the monkey body count was always higher than the intended target. To see/hear the lead ship signal with 5-6 gunships each side light up all at once is a sight to behold. Just a wall of fire moving forward. Ground detection units were always bracketed with Arty, the monkey BODYcount was very high that way as well. LOL
The sniffers were first used on the trail an in fact did smoke many Cong an NVA in the early days of it's usage.

 
Is that the big hanger in Sunnyvale or San Jose that housed the Navy Dirgibles? The Macon was so big that planes flew from it!!!! And landed on it, sort of....

Nope, I was thinking of the Martin Bomber building at Offutt. I did some work out of there, and remember walking from the basement to the North end one day, and into one of the large open areas, where it was raining inside, but sunshine outside. Too weird! We had intended to step outside to watch some B-2's launch on a mission, but somehow this seemed more memorable to me. Watching B-2's and F-117A's launch had gotten kind of "normal" back then (even when most had never seen them yet).
 
I think General Montgomery disguised almost the entire British Eighth Army to fool Rommel in WW2. I believe they hid thousands of tanks and vehicles. Cool story worth reading, even if that's not the answer.
