I always liked being behind the gun and watching those big ol' boolits go down range, but most of my time was as a FIST leader.
Right after I finished inprocessing with 1/11 ACR in Fulda, we went to Vilseck and drew the first five M981 FISTVs in Europe. Since I was fresh out of FAOBC, I was dubbed the subject matter expert and wound up teaching all four teams and the squadron FSO.
Trivia: what's the elevation at which low angle fire becomes high angle fire?
