MY JOB
On the guns
(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"I'm on a course right now so key tasks are to be here on time, make sure I follow orders properly.
"When it comes to operations, I'll be on the guns, seven people on a gun detachment.
"Number one is usually your Sergeant in-command of the gun. Then you've got your number two, which is the elevation and firing the gun, number three runs your coordinates. Number four, five and six are your loading numbers and they look after the ammo and make sure everything's prepped and seven who's usually your driver and second in command.
"I'd fall under the two, three, four, five and six gun numbers."
