What I want to know is - why in the hell anyone would go into artillery? I figured deaf. But Dear Lord dumb as well? I thought it required a certain level of smarts. I guess this is where they separate the men from the former men.

I guess this is where they separate the men from the former men. I knew several Gunners Mates in both of my former ships, most were goofy as bedbugs. At first I thought it had to do with physiological reactions to the lubricants and caustic gasses in the air. But then the REAL answer surfaced ... they LOVE blowing things up as much as the combat engineers do! The Mount 51 Gun Captain in my first ship used to hum or sing a little ditty when we went to nondrill GQ: "Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to war we go!" "To rape and pillage and maim and kill!" "Hi ho, Hi Ho." Of course Fred was just a little "off." Big and burly (would tuck a 70 pound 5" round under each arm when we transferred ammo,) a "bad drunk" (we would call the duty Master at Arms to the brow when we saw Fred coming back from liberty,) but EXACTLY the guy you wanted at your back when the manure was getting into the high speed fans. |

I guess this is where they separate the men from the former men. My oldest son, insisted to the Marine recruiter that he wanted to be in artillery. The recruiter tried to talk him out of it (  ), but as Greg says now, "I knew better", as he did about everthing. lol! It was simple, he loved and still does love bombs, explosives, etc.  |

hmmmmm........My children are a mixture of quite a few different cultural backrounds, Lebanese and Irish being 2 of them. lol! (The Irish from me, the Lebanese from my Honey) We Irish can usually take some kidding.........  I'd say Greg's done ok, as far as I know the only telltale signs of damage is a very slight hearing problemo. |
