First, there are BULLETS and there are CARTRIDGES- then there is US and then there is Europe.

In the US, a .308 bullet IS a 7.62 mm bullet. The .308 Winchester CARTRIDGE is similar to, but slightly different from the 7.62 NATO cartridge. The .308 has minor differences in the case measurements, has slightly less internal volume (due to thicker military brass) and is loaded to higher pressures that the military 7.62 NATO. The NATO round can be safely fired from a .308 Winchester rifle, but the reverse is not true.

In Europe, they measure bore diameter differently than the US does. Due to the different measuring technique, what the Europeans CALL a 7.62 mm (like the 7.62x39 cartridge for the SKS) is really closer to .311 than .308.

What is the standard height of an exterior door?

usually either 30" or 32" wide and the heights are usually 80". In the UK you tend to find that they are 27" (686mm) or 30" (762mm) wide. I note that new regs indicate you should fit 30 minute resistant fire doors, I have only been able to find these doors in the 30" or 33" varieties. Also in the UK they tend to be 78" (1981mm) high. The link in additional information provides some extra size info.


What unit was the 19th Infantry fourth Missile Command in Korea during the 50's and 60's?

I was assigned to the 19th Infantry Regiment in 1958 and 1959. The 4th Missile Command's primary weapon was the 762mm Honest John rocket. If my memory serves me I believe there was a Headquarters Battery (47th Arty), 2 or 3 firing batteries, the 226th Signal Company, an Engineer Company and the 19th Infantry. The Infantry company was responsible for all the security at Camp Page including the Main Gate. I was a sentry dog handler and worked inside the Maximun Security Area (MSA) where the nuclear warheads were stored. I was there for 13 months and spent almost 13 months o guard duty. Soldiers assigned to the command wore the 4th Missile Command patch on their left sleeve and the 1st ROK Army patch on the right.
