Jeff And Jenn,
Artillery Officer, definitely the best selection for a new soldier. But
don‘t worry all of your phase 2 training will not be with the Infantry
School god forbid The second part of phase 2 will be conducted with the
Artillery School, and you will learn basic artillery soldier skills and gun
drill. The in phase 3, you will learn the production of firing data and
duties as a Command Post Officer, and an introduction to the recce of a gun
position. The final Phase you will learn specifically Gun Position Officers
and Recce Officers duties. Training is progressively more challenging. There
is also one other place you could get posted upon graduation, W Bty
Artillery School although few get this opportunity
And Gunner, the regt history off the top of you head was excellent... I have
never seen or heard it put that concisely...
Ubique
Scott
