Today has to be the worst day already, digging holes in a minute, literally. And then today’s gabra zebra is me… can’t remember all the procedure.. (where have i felt exactly like this before… ahhh……. airgrading!!!!) Its horrible! This time 5 ppl fate depends on you now. Mess up then can ceasefire already loh, and we’re the most slack detachment! crap.. i see the other 2 do non-stop for almost 1 hr…
Well, 2 injured already, 3 more to go. Today, Tino got his hand kiapped so bad his finger turned purple. Poor little finger. His nail looks like it just dieded… prob drop off in a few weeks. the other one has a fourth finger that looks like a brinjaw.. victim of being kiapped in between the vehicle and tow eye… ouch. Oh well.. just wonder when its my turn man.. I so far have only sustained cuts and thorns, very minor man! haha…
lets hear some of the voice proceedure..
“Prepare for crash action!”
*deploy deploy*
“fire misson platoon!”
“take posts! check put to fire! muzzle cover out!”
“mortar number 2! ranging! wp! chaaaaaaaaarge 4…, line! zero zero zero zero! elevation! one one four five! Fire!”
“mortar number 2! ranging! wp! chaaaaaaaaarge 4…, line! zero zero zero zero! elevation! one one four five! Fire!”
**number 2 man now has to lift up the bipod with the help of number 3 and 4, aim at an aiming pole about 40m away, bipod down and then set the scale to zero. Thats only when the bubbles on the sight are perfectly level and thats not easy when 2 ppl are trying to centre 2 diff bubbles, elevation and traversing bubble… Then sometimes the gear max out before you can aim at the thing… so you have to wind it back to the middle then bipod up again… which garuntees a failure…
at teh same time, number5 gets correct bomb and passes it to number 4.
4 - “Commander! WP! Chaaaaaaaarge FOUR! Safety wire out!!”
det com - “correct! load!”
uh… actually this is the easy part…
det com– “take posts!”
“take posts!”
“ready! FIRE!”
****booomm…****
now zero line is all out cos of the recoil.. so… poor number 2 must set zero line again which means

a repeat of the above… then he aims at director(some guy with something called a… director! ha.. and gives det com the reading.
det com - “Aiming point! mortar number 2! director reading six three one three!”
Director - “Aiming point! mortar number 2! director reading six three one three!”
det com - “Roger!”
Number 2 man records zero line again with another aiming pole behind the original one… when done…
det com - “Mortar number 2, zero line recorded!”
all in 1 min 30 sec. But must remmember the hole you have to dig and also to set up the mortar… can die ah.. so, give one more minute. total 2.5 minute to dig and stuff that 200++kg thing into the depression you made and fire off the bomb. so fun… x10 at least… today. poor ppl who did 20x or more…
