I only went through basic training, not much to talk about really.What will be your duty assignment/job position. Remember that all the glory and girls heart breakers belong to the armor units.
We were taught how to fire weapons, practice marching drills, hand to hand combat (martial art), night infiltration...etc
It was a memorable experience that earned me the sense pride and accomplishment.
Was in the Army as gunner/loader on Leopard 2A6, now I'm out of service, but I'm planning to do some reservist stuff, because studying is just f*cking boring compared to military service. If I would be on the reservist list, I would only be trained in Light Infantry though, tank service for reservists is nearly impossible, even for ex-tankers. Very sad, indeed.
Nonesense, cows love green (the colour of infantry), gays purple (colour of engineers and singal troops) and girls love red (colour of artillery)
2nd Royal TAS battery. :nutkick :sperm
I served in the army (engineers)...
And I miss that so I'll be joining a group of people. They got these:

First few years I was a "gun number," which is what we call the gun crew. Now I play in the Command Post with the fire control software.
Canadian arty offers quite a few career tracks for its NCOs. You can specialize as a FOO tech, CP tech, Recce tech, gunline commander and other stuff like playing with target acquisition UAVs and sonic counterbattery rangefinders plus some other neato areas.
What do you do in your artillery?

I did, I'm in reserve now. I did my conscription in Karelian artillery regiment and in the fire position battery (the battery that trains specially those who serve with the gun). Orginally I was an aimer but actually did more of gunleaders tasks as our groupleader was too often abcent. We used 122mm D30 for training and 155mm 155K98 as "main" unit.

At least undermanning is a problem we all seem to be used to. We train on 105mm guns based on a design dating back to WW2 which requires a crew of 7 plus a driver, in theory. But in practice, we will only have a total of 3 or 4, which means we get skilled at all the positions on the gun, whether it be operating the sights, driving the truck, prepping the ammo, local defence and other stuff.
What did you aim with? The collomater?

In our guncrew there was 8 guys total plus a driver from the support battery (not an organic part of the team, often it was different driver for each "forrest" sessions). Even with the full team we never had any hands lying idlle.
Basicly only the gunleaders post and the aimers post was sort of standart, others did different tasks varying from the mood and so on. When I was a gunleader I did most of the aimers jobs as well (tough not in the actual shooting). The official training called for each guy to spezialise for each role but in practise all were trained for all the jobs and outcluding the aimers and gunleaders the roles varied even between the shooting. Drivers were like in other branches in Finnish army, a seperate bunch which only did the driving and nothing else...mean nothing
As for aiming, we used collimators with D30's but the 155K98 had computerized fire-controll system where the firing values were directly sended to the computer via radio and you just steered the gun untill the display showed "Good & Good".
