Any field artillery vets here? What would your advice be for a know-nothing future LT?

I just found out I'll be going active duty field artillery as an officer sometime this next year.

I know nothing about FA right now. I just ordered a couple books about it as well as FM 3-09.

I wanna kill as many ISIS as possible via deafening steel-storm of destruction.

Gonna be a fire direction officer then? Listen to the FDC chief and the digital master gunner. Don't be a cunt that just pretends to do things so you can look good in front of the higher ups.

>proving how little I know right now

Would those positions be in my platoon or battery? I'd think a master gunner would be an E7?

What were your least favorite and favorite parts of the officers you served with?

E-6 will be your FDC chief, E-5 should be your master computer operator, E-7 should be your digital master gunner.

I couldn't stand most of the FDOs that I had, because a lot of them cared more about earning their golden kneepads than actual fire missions.

i had this big thing all typed up. Then my browser crashed and I lost it all.

tl;dr? listen to folks that give you advice. On the other hand, don't be a pushover yes-man. learn when to stand up for yourself and your men. and for the love of god, don't ever EVER EVER think of doing anything just to please someone above you. just do what's right at the time, and be prepared to defend your choice.
