Amen to that Jeff. AMEN!!

I have to wonder how many major deployments MCPO Johnson made..maybe 15 perhaps? And where I work people complain when they have to go to Des Moines, Chicago or elsewhere for a week.:eek:.. They need to learn to endure any sort of "hardship"......AND a week away from home is no hardship.... Ask MCPO Johnson..I'm sure he will give them the straight skinny...

Successful live fire test of the LCS Surface-to-Surface Missile Module (SSMM). This will be a 24 pack module using the modified Hell Fire missile for Naval Surface strike use off the LCS, specifically against swarming speed boats.

Pretty impressive video as shown with a ripple fire of three missiles striking three targets.

Note: This is NOT the new, long range ASuW missile which will be the upgrade for the new Fast Frigate and LCS upgrades. Those will likely be an eight missile (probably two quad packs) package of either Naval Strike Missiles (which have already been tested off the LCS) or Harpoon missiles.
