"Why doesn't it have more rockets?" (was expecting, like, 40... just like BM-21)

Do your lads nick-name them the same as ours? A friend of mine had a brother in the Royal Artillery and they apparently called the MLRS 'grid squre removal service...! I like that one, made me chuckle. 

There's mostly naval stuff around these parts, Portsmouth is one of the places on the South Coat of England the RN calls home, which is why we have all the tourist attractions around here mixed in with operational stuff. Not to mention everyone and their grandmothers' dog has a connection to something to do with the navy one way or the other. It's good in some ways, but it tends to be a bit like running the gauntlet if you're on a night out to the pub. 
I probably don't see as much as you, as I suppose it's a bit easier to get up-close-and-personal to the land stuff, but it's still cool to see stuff when it comes around, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't one of the attractions for moving to the this area compared to where I used to live, which had absolutely zero interesting features. The only good thing there is the airsoft site in a disused shopping mall.
