Filecard information:
Code Name: CHARBROIL
FLAME THROWER
File Name: Shannon, Carl G.
SN: 247-5540-ZY09
Primary Military Specialty: Flame Weapons Specialist
Secondary Military Specialty: Small Arms Armorer
Birthplace: Blackduck, Minnesota
Grade: E-4
As a childhood chore, CHARBROIL had to heat the water pipes in the family basement with a blowtorch to keep them from freezing and bursting in the winter. As a teenager, he worked in the mills on the Great Lakes, feeding coal into blast furnaces. When the recruiting sergeant asked him what type of job he was interested in, he replied, "What have you got with open flames?"
"Flame weapons are scary to the max. Why do you think he wears that asbestos suit? He's the only one on the Night Force squad who enjoys wearing a full tank of jellied gasoline on his back. Do you know what happens if a hot tracer round hits that? Would you want to be standing next to him? For a flame thrower specialist, he's a pretty nice guy but with that thing a tretenck, he len't going to win a popularity contest in the middle of a firefight."
