Most choose that because it feels safer in the backline in a war as opposed to cannon fodder in the trench. But if the rounds really are 96 pounds... that's pretty physically exhausting tbh , how many loaders there are per arty? thats like 45kg.. 1h max and i wouldnt even feel my hands. (2 rounds per minute rate of fire as sayd) so arty soldiers are literally "gym bros" then i assume? why does US military even have DEI then.... so real soldiers are exhausting t hemselves and all those woke mentally ill overweight freaks are your officers and HQ ? :S cringe no wonder you cant win wars against Non-State actors even .. it would be a sad sight to see when you have to fight an actually country in a war ... nice exit from afghan btw ! : ))))))

Triple 7s are no joke, in my COP in Afghanistan we had one Triple 7 team. Us Infantry dudes would run security, patrols, checkpoints, PSDs but the arty dudes never left their huts or pits. Any time, and I mean ANY time, we would take enemy fire that team would be up laying hate on the mountains just outside the wire. They would do terrain denial operations at night where they lit up the brush and vegetation on the mountainside with red phosphorous in order to scare the T-ban away and burn their cover. At night, when they fired, my cot that was pushed flush against the wall would literally slide 6 inches away from it with every shot.

I was in the Navy, we loaded 400 rounds in one day in Earle NJ, that meant carrying the rounds from the stern of the ship, down three decks and then lowering them by hand into the magazine and putting them in their racks. Three days later we fired off every round we had on the ship, 600 rounds in just over 8 hours. There were 4 of us in the magazine, not only did you have to load the round, you had to load the powder charge which weighed 45-55 pounds. The powder and the round went into a lift and up to the gun. We had to fire 28 rounds per minute for 6 minutes.

I'm missing the justification for saying that 1 in 6 soldiers being female is "lagging behind integration". My sister joined the military and quickly got promoted beyond her capability. This whole culture of pushing women into ONLY MASCULINE postitions which are typically made of exceptional men....is going to destroy our economy. Im not an extraordinary man. I am a jack of all trades, I am not suited for leadership or a job which requires charisma. I can accept that i have weaknesses. Many of the women ive known or talked to will NOT do that, to the point of nearly recieving a medical discharge. To the point of fainting in formation and breaking all of their front teeth.

06:50 - The PAGST helmet, originally fielded in 1983, was found to have too long of an apron on the back. It did provide excellent all-around ballistic protection, but DARPA discovered that the apron was directing *ALL* of the forward concussive force of explosions, artillery and IED up the back of the helmet, and into the brains of the wearer. It was literally acting like a scoop. Anything in front, and up to 40 degrees to the left, right or below was being focused on the top of the skull. So the helmet was redesigned and replaced by the Lightweight Marine Helmet in 2003, which is the type you see personnel wearing in the video. The LWH lacks the long apron in the back, allowing concussive forces to be deflected, without collecting them like the PAGST.

I attended the Field Artillery Officer's Basic Course in 1995 at a time when only men served in the Field Artillery. The fail rate at the schoolhouse was traditionally 10-20%. It was an academically challenging course where everyone did a few hours of homework each night after a full day in the classroom or in the field. Watched a number of classmates exit the course due to failing an exam. Went back a few years later to attend the Advanced Course.

Look at my boy J! I had the honor to serve as a Fire Support Specialist instructor when I was in. We definitely made sure that FOs were trained and ready to put Steel on Steel! Eyes of Death baby, no one can compare.

Did she have her ACH cover on backwards???😮

I only worked on towed arty in the Army 1986-2010, seen a lot of changes during that time frame working on/firing the old M-101's, M-102, M-119 and the M-198/M-777. I guess with women 13 Bravo's there won't be anymore fire missions were you literally get caught in just your boots, Kevlar and underwear because the Infantry guys need rounds down range right now.

I knew this one cat who always free-balled. At least he gets to say he ran fire missions with his hanging out.

the female soldier at 0:22 clearly having issues. The fact that the army is now accepting DEI into the military is hilarious. You are so unprepared.

I'm wondering artillery would fit in the age of smart drones.

You get better hits with more surveillance

Loved to see the round dropped. Thats DEI for you.

[@blakett88]

love to see people hide anonymously on the internet to say edgy things. also that kind of drop to that round won't do shit

[@hrwildem4993]

@@blakett88 Sorry, I guess what I should've said was "she sure is doing great, look at how big and strong. Can definitely see how she got the gig"

[@jermicidal7506]

She's there voluntarily. So not Dei.. and at least she's trying.

[@crypto_que]

@@blakett88it’s what people who don’t pack the gear to serve do. Talk about people living real lives, having real world experiences. Don’t have anything nice to say? Didn’t serve? Keep your piehole shut.

​@@blakett88no it wont but TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE, lives are on the line in a fire mission. Guess you have NEVER SERVED.

On 16:44 went to AIT with that guy! Essex was a cool guy. Me and him almost beat the shit out of each other on our first week. After that we became pretty good buddies. Good times
