For those occasions when someone orders the top shelf ammo.

Also there’s actually 3 ladders there. One pair of steps and two small standard ladders.

I suspect the standard ladders are shite. So they carry some battered steps to avoid having to use them.

As you can see, it is strapped to the shelf with the shells, so its obviously a load bearing support beam to prevent the shelf from falling.

Ah lads it’s obviously for the high explosive rounds

For when Jackie Chan has to fight them.

Clearly that’s for gaining the high ground 🙄

The government signed a lucrative deal to a friend to buy 10 million ladders at at 1000 dollars a piece, so now each everyone gets a least one ladder to lug around. We gotta spend thoughs trillions some how. At least their friends and family to reap the benefits.

Judging based on how badly it’s bent it’s used as a persuasion device (hammer) when you don’t want to be within arms reach, like when dealing with explosive shells.

For going down to pick up dropped ammunition.

They found it on the road, and Dan wanted to keep it, so they pulled over and he was like free ladder. Highway loot is the best.

Getting out of the plane and setting up the targets again.

You never know when you’ll have to lay siege to a medieval castle.

In 1975, the RAND corporation did extensive studies using Chaos Theory and computer simulations. Their conclusion was that the Bay of Pigs would have succeeded under the Butterfly Effect of having a ladder on board every airplane larger than a twin-seater. Ladders have been required on board ever since.

I think I have that ladder… if it’s for the same thing I use it for, it’s for sitting around being useless until I need to change a lightbulb in the kitchen.

For appeasing the green tentacled LOX monster that lives on the ceiling

The need that to clean the ceiling fans.
