HAd 105 sabot missfire. tryed to fire again missfire , third time missfire. so we had to mechanical fire it, nope wouldnt fire. I was the Loader so every body out the tank , im the lowest most expendable item on board so I had to pull that dude out the breach. I was sweating like MOFO! Im like if this fucker goes up in my hand well , my girl friend is going to have easy $100,000 . HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA thats 1991. I cant get No, Satisfaction! Wanted dead or ALIVE!
@sguberdude There is no guranteed MOS in the Marines you can get a branch like 18XX or 03XX but not a specific MOS im pretty sure that the only people who are guranteed are the reserves.
@sguberdude You will be trained as a loader, driver and gunner. You will get your shot at all three. I spent many hours as a loader and I've driven hundreds of miles. I got to spend some time as a gunner too. Any spot on the tank is cool. I'm not crazy about being the gunner though. Next step after gunner is Tank commander. Don't worry about what position you will serve because you'll get to do them all in time. There's a lot to learn on the tank, a LOT. It's continuous learning. Good luck to ya
@sguberdude 3 weeks of MOS school? lol You're dreaming buddy. You go to boot, 3 months. You go to MCT, 1 month, then you go to Fort Knox. 3 months. Then you get sent to your unit and your either a driver, maybe a loader if you're lucky. Then you learn all the shit they don't teach you at tank school, which is pretty much everything. Then after a couple of years when you aren't a total waste of space. You might be able to be a gunner.
@Catchaspoon but since i want to be a gunner on the abrams, i will be randomly picked? i thought you go for your normal 12 weeks then your 3 weeks of your MOS then you get to pick like a gunner, driver, or loader
@BitnikGr I've counted that tanks #3 and #4 from the left fired 3 rounds each.

How many rounds 1 tank crew usually use during such fire drill?
How many such live fire exercises one crew passes per year, usually?
