Rubber duck (military)

Okay kiddo, so imagine you're playing with your rubber duck in the bathtub. The rubber duck is made of a material called rubber that is bouncy and squishy.

Now think about soldiers who are in the military. Sometimes they have to practice things called drills to get better at their job and to make sure they know what to do in case of an emergency.

When soldiers practice their drills, sometimes they use a special kind of rubber duck called a "rubber duck" (just like your bath toy!). These rubber ducks are made to look and feel like real bombs, so that the soldiers can practice safely without actually using dangerous explosives.

The rubber ducks are also used to practice finding and removing bombs in places like airports or other places where there could be danger. So, just like you use your rubber duck for pretend play in the bath, soldiers use rubber ducks for practicing their important work to keep our world safe.
