1
00:00:00,409 --> 00:00:01,409
Right . 

2
00:00:09,979 --> 00:00:12,800
A fire mission is started by either a 

3
00:00:12,810 --> 00:00:14,977
call for fire from a line company or a 

4
00:00:14,979 --> 00:00:16,770
target kicked out by the FS . 

5
00:00:19,409 --> 00:00:21,770
So as a gun sergeant on a fire line , 

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,829
uh I conduct and maintain command and 

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,007
control over the gun to make sure it's 

8
00:00:27,007 --> 00:00:29,530
operating , we record the data of each 

9
00:00:29,540 --> 00:00:33,169
mission and then we take it forward and 

10
00:00:33,180 --> 00:00:35,236
issue the command to hang it in fire 

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,259
where , so my primary job here is I'm a 

12
00:00:42,270 --> 00:00:45,139
gunner . So there's three positions on 

13
00:00:45,150 --> 00:00:47,206
the mortar . We have the ammo bear , 

14
00:00:47,206 --> 00:00:49,317
the assistant gunner and the gunner . 

15
00:00:49,317 --> 00:00:51,317
So the gunner's job is basically to 

16
00:00:51,317 --> 00:00:53,372
make sure that that site is on those 

17
00:00:53,372 --> 00:00:52,720
poles , make sure we're shooting as 

18
00:00:52,729 --> 00:00:56,130
accurate as possible . Yeah . So the 

19
00:00:56,139 --> 00:00:58,479
first few days , uh some severe 

20
00:00:58,490 --> 00:01:01,270
thunderstorms which caused our holes to 

21
00:01:01,279 --> 00:01:03,446
fill up with water , which led to that 

22
00:01:03,446 --> 00:01:05,239
mud shooting up . Really ? 

23
00:01:08,260 --> 00:01:10,371
So , I mean , my favorite thing about 

24
00:01:10,371 --> 00:01:12,482
being 11 , Charlie is obviously the , 

25
00:01:12,482 --> 00:01:14,427
the camaraderie with the guys . So 

26
00:01:14,427 --> 00:01:16,649
everybody's going through the same . So 

27
00:01:16,649 --> 00:01:18,704
we all kind of form a bond and build 

28
00:01:18,704 --> 00:01:20,816
off of it with each other . Um Yeah , 

29
00:01:20,816 --> 00:01:23,093
you just meet a lot of great guys , uh , 

30
00:01:23,093 --> 00:01:22,870
friends for life .
