WW2 reenactment

[Adsos Letter]

11. Gamma Goat!

I never could drive that thing well. The combination of automatic stick and tight shifting pattern gave me fits.

I trained, and served stateside, on the old M114 towed 155mm. Went to a Cav regiment in Germany, and served the M109-A1. They are currently on either the A6 or A7 variant of that piece, which gives you an idea of how old I am.

I spent the last 8 months of my tour in FO section but I had a buddy in FDC, Brent Schlosstein. They still used the old slide rule system on occasion, but I'm pretty sure that they primarily used FADAC. It's been so long I can't remember, but I do remember glancing into the CP and seeing them standing around maps, fussing with slide rules.

We were pretty low-tech: maps, small plastic plotting template, and two radios. I can only imagine how they do things nowadays.
