I was a gunner in the OLD M60s for most of my 7 years. I'd take that spot any day.

Riding triggers is always the best position on any tank

Commander, means you’ve got a promotion.

Apart from that loader/operator. Driver is fun during FTX (unless you have a pack change). Gunner during gunnery camp.

On Chieftains the best place to sleep was in the drivers seat, it went fully recumbent.

I am not a tanker but I would guess the tank commander. If you are considering being a tanker you will probably work your way up through the other positions - loader, driver and gunner before being a tank commander. Good luck!
