yea, but you know this is a preplanned mission. A good FDC will have made up
cheat sheets for the section chiefs. Or a 4513 with all the info to give the chiefs. A good chief will have everything precut and laid out in the order of firing.
You announce "Fire tgt AB1001 charge 5, quad 1001" We'll take care of the rest
And you know, although I left it out that the section chief is checking the a-gunner with a gunners quadrant, sight pic/bubbles/reading on pantel, shell fuze and witness marks prior to anyone pulls the string to make gun go boom.
But just so you don't think I was totally reckless. On a mission like that, the A-chief acts as gunner, because you can depend on him. And the section chief plants his self inside the trails so he can observe the important things. Proper shell/fuze/powder charge going in the breach, Tube is within left and right limit marks. And does check quad with the gunners quad.
I was fast. Not stupid
