Jayjaycf said:Wherever a battery goes there will be a GPO and a safety that will check all the data during a fire mission, The BK also spend time on the gunline not sure what is his job though as I was a gun bunny. Both the safety and GPO were lieutenant during our exercise so if you decide to go officer there is a good chance you will get to be with the guns.
