You’ll spent a lot of time in the motorpool learning to properly PMCS your howitzer, theory of operation, breech disassembly, reassembly, and functions checks. Additionally, you’ll be trained as a #1 man (in layman’s terms, a loader). Your section will learn to occupy your howitzer in accordance with the appropriate technical manual. Tasks during occupation include setting up primary and alternate aiming references (collimator and aiming posts) and erecting a camouflage net for rowed pieces. Your culminating training event will have you conducting a LFX where you will fire a number of live rounds. <br /><br />As a side note, I love being an artilleryman. I hope that you’re the kind of motivated go-getter that the fires community needs in our ranks. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Wed, 16 Jan 2019 15:06:51 -0500 2019-01-16T15:06:51-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-is-ait-for-13b?n=4298710&urlhash=4298710 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It is what you make it. It can either be really shitty or can be really good. Just depends on how you take it. I was a reclass myself.

Don&#39;t sit around. Grab a TM on the weapon system you will be falling in on. Read it! Any knowledge will help when you get to your gun.

If you are really into it then look up manuals like TM they usually start with 10-... FM 6-50 is a good manual to read.

Easy stuff after that. On emplacements, its the fastest 5 mins of your day depending on your weapon system.
