Of course that's the case.

Even as a tanker, the officers were also "tank commanders". The officers spent more time on Humvees and at the toc, but when we rolled out, they were on a tank.

There was nothing quite like an LT that barely knew how to climb in the TCs hatch and he's then in charge of fighting and maneuvering his tank crew.

Total shite show. As a E-5, I had to gun for a BN XO for a Gunner because I was good and he wanted to score well on our Table 8. I was perfect in my 9 engagements and we would have shot a grand (1000/1000) but he bolo'd the TC engagement and we got 900/1000.

I told the CSM I was put after that. I even offered to shoot the engagement for the Major to get him a grand, which is a huge deal in armor land. Maybe 1-3 tanks in all of 1st CAV shoot a grand.

fricker shot 3 120mm sabots and I was watching them all miss and my heart was sinking.

In a Table 8, the Gunner shoots 9 main gun engagements and the tank commander shoots one engagement to simulate having a 3 man tank crew.

Well, one of the other 9 engagements, while the Gunner is engaging something, the TC has a 50 cal target to John Wayne, but the TC only pulls main gun triggers one engagement.
