I'm thinking of joining the Adf. Preferably, I'd like

Do you like your hearing? Hearing protection actually gets in the way of doing the job good.

I figured that I'd be half death by 30

YOU WORK IN A DISTILLERY?

Inserting ERA tiles in your ears so when sounds come they explode.

They are known for being capable of stopping kinetic sounds too.

Does naval artillery count?

I can tell you all about my time in the artillery, just let me put in my hearing aids and sit down because my back is killing me.

NAH MATE I THINK HE REGRETS VOTING HILLARY

If you're serious about Artillery, don't, don't, don't fucking go 162 (artilleryman). For the love of fucking god. Don't. Do. It. Choose a different role, or a different corps.

SPGs are cool to work with, you mostly press buttons if you dont have manual loading. But there is a lot of maintenance to do.

Towed (back in the day when we still had it) was a pain in the ass.

YOU GOT IT WRONG HE SAID THIS JOB IS KILLING ME

No SP's in ADF, all towed, specifically the m777 155mm.

You cheeky bugger.

Slav 2S1 gvozdika commander here, corporal of the reserve (gun commanders are corporals here)

Its tons of fun, officers do the brainwork we just set shit up. When it goes boom and the shell hits the ground with a clang its fun as fuck

Russians fucked the design up in such a way that if you're not careful the gun commander gets his right leg mangled to shit by the gun when it flies back if you're manspreading, shit cured me of that habit into sitting like a polite 12 year old girl

I guess the M777 is cool if your entire doctrine centers around helicopters, but in any other situation its pretty bad, even for a towed howitzer.

anon.... I don't know how to say this... but within the next decade you will become the grim reaper, death incarnate. I am so sorry for your loss.

WAIT, WHO'S BECOME A LIABILITY?

Why does every Russian piece of equipment mangle their operators if they're not autistically careful about following the prescribed steps?
