You and NWARTY are obviously Army from the unit names. I knew the Army had the 155s but thought ya'll mainly shot the 105s. Not counting the Paladins. Do ya'll have more 155s or the 105s? The Marines are switching to the MLRS more. My old unit doesn't even shoot the M198 or M777 anymore, they're all rockets now. Kind of makes me sad.
Yammie,
Majority of the units are 155mm. The lighter stuff you see with 173rd, the schoolhouse, 82nd, etc. I grew up on Paladins and 109A5's. I even got to see the m102 and 8-inch fire.
Our unit is transitioning to the 777 from Paladin. We turned them in already and it was a very sad day to see them go. I consider myself extremely lucky as an Artilleryman to see all the changes in the last 20+ years, from being a Fister to Gun Bunny. I came into the army in the days of TACFIRE and BCS, Gun DIsplay units, DR-8, GVLLDs and TAS-4Ds, Sluggers and PLGR, FEDs, PRC-77's and the SINCGARS and ASIPs and everything beyond that. It's been a ride for sure
