Hey, are there any tank commanders on here? Gunners? You guy's are going to love the high tech toys were are developing for the future Combat systems(FCS)!!!! Of course i could tell you about them, but then i would have to kill you afterward because it is still classified!!!
Hey!!! Exactly what I used to do :D :D I loved that job (far better than being in the data comms industry during it's current death throws), if only the pay was better I'd still be doing it :) I did the Fire Control Systems, etc for Chieftain & Challenger MBTs for the Brit army (& a couple of others). Great fun - how many people can call the army in the morning, ask for access to a tank, drive it to the firing range in the afternoon & lob a few 120mm shells at a target to make sure that they've not got any S/W bugs? And do the same a couple of days later to check that the bug has been fixed. Fantastic :) If I sound like I enjoyed that job & bitterly regret leaving, it's because I did & I do! And just after I left I found out that the UK army wanted me present as a tank crew member at the next big Nato exercise in Germany (playing war with your guys) & had also OK'd my request to park my daily driver on the firing range & punch an HE shell into it from a 2 mile range (I hated that car). WTF is my timing always so off?!!
:cheers:

Commercial Real Estate Appraise (MAI) also read "BORING" but back in my youth I was a Gunner's Mate/Fire Control Tech, oh yeah nothing like shooting big guns, small guns, medium guns...but can't say I have ever shot my daily driver, it would have sunk before we acquired it anyway. My favorite gun?? thanks for asking, it was a trigger fired 81mm mortar piggy-backed with a 50 cal, we used them on the bow of our river boats, you flush them with the 50 and them blow them back to Uncle Ho with the mortar, it was sweet.
