      Makes ol' S-2 happy too. Maybe a destruction mission from the FDC. Don't forget "fuze delay"...!:Dancing-Banana:

      Army better be doing the same given some of their fires are likely danger close up in the Konar. High Angle at that...

          Rest assured the good ol Gunners Quadrant is still used when "Special Instructions - Danger Close" are recieved, even though the digital system does something different when the mission comes down via digital message with that special instruction. But not going to elaborate on that as it would indicate teh pointing accurace of the Ring Laser Gyro which is not for discussion on teh ineterweb :)

          • I got to ask....the guys in PT gear....I take it the unit was doing PT when the fire mission came in and reacted to the call for fire. I hope that is not normal attire.

            All of that exposed flesh can be hell with flash burns as well as running shoes don't give much protection if you drop an M795 on your foot.

              Given all the photos you've seen here of units shooting up in the Konar/Nuristan area, what do you really think?

                The Task Force CSM has also raised his concerns about these pics showing the entire section in PT gear. I dont think we will be seeing the like again.

                • I'll be bringing my camera to EMV and shortly after Bragg. I'll try to post some photos/videos when I get back from both.

                    Deuce,

                    To paraphrase our good buddy Shek "But the Grunts has mad boxer skillz!"

                    Not knocking the gunners, just looking out for their welfare. (Besides a mag of 5.56 is lot lighter on the toes than a 155mm projo!)

                          Looks like a bad night to be in the Taliban... I hope nobody gets in trouble for PC violations... (not that that would make any sense at all, if those people were targeted with artillery - a little taunting hardly matters)

                            Its not teh "Taunting and joking around" that could cause issues. It teh use of WP in a "Direct Effects" Role.

                            However as the video clearly shows the WP was fired as a means to hinder their egress from the area where the HE was landing. ;)

                                What do you tell your insurance agent when this happens?



                                THis is what happens when you dont PMCS your prime mover properly (Pintle Latch) and also dont hook up "Safety Chains" so that if the howitzer does detach from teh prime mover it doesnt do this!!!!
