NEGATIVE on that one buddy!!!! Boresight Verification procedures are carried out very regularly. In the Artrillery world we perform Borsight verifications Weekly as part of Weekly PMCS on both the Optical and Digital Systems. When emplacing a howitzer using the "Glass and Iron Sights" your perform a boresight verification procedure as part of your emplacment procedres.
You perform Fire Control Alignment tests as part of Quartely and Annual Services, any time your receive new eauipment or equipment that has just come out of higher echelon maintenance.
On my team 1 have one retired US Army SFC Tanker who was a Master Gunner, and I have a former USMC SSgt M1 Maintainer, and they have confiremed that the Tanker community take their Fire Ccntrol Alignment and Boresight Verification procedures just as seriously as us Arty types.
Howitzers and Tanks are maintenance intensive beasts, you are always working on something, even just sitting in the motorpool things can magically go bad requireing maintenance.

Arty
Edit, Kernow, I have just looked at your profile and see that you have 24 years experience as a Tanker. I feel like a bit of a tool with this above response. Obviously I misunderstand what you mean by only boresight once.
