45B (armorer) in a M60 tank unit 1986-1992. 49th AD, Arlington, TX. learned more than I wanted to know about the M73 and M219 and M85 MGs.
"We traded in our Brownings for this? What's next, .22 caliber rifles and .38 caliber pistols?" I did make the M14 state team though.

Gunner, coax, LOLIW (Little Old Ladies in Wheelchairs)
Just kidding.
11E '73-'81 M60A1 (old school not even RISE)
Multiple Tank Table 8s at Hood and Graf.
I do miss my 52 tons of cold rolled, homogeneous steel. We were some tankin' fools back then.

Yes, Correcto-moon-doh, That would be true… 
I took this picture back in October of 2006, here at work. It is my old tank, C-24. At the time it was the Avalanche gunnery training vehicle for the WA-State DOT. Those POGUE D.O.T. pukes think they are so cool, they don’t know S$%t about real tank gunnery, but then again who needs to know, when all they do is lob HEP-T rounds at a mountain side.

I don't get it. Why are the guys who drive snowplows playing with tanks?
Wait. I just reread your post. These guys are using HEP rounds to blast snow on hillsides to prevent folks from getting squished by avalanches, right? I seem to recall stories of these guys using 106 reckless (yeah I know it's recoiless) rifles for the same purpose. Do you suppose they'd let me put a few rounds down range for old times sake if I paid my way out there? You can tell them I was the gunner on the crew that came in second place in 2AD during the '74 tank gunnery season (got the patch to prove it).

No they are pretty stingy with their ammo.... That’s why they are POGUES to the max. Back in October of 06 when I took that picture, none of the DOT folks had ever been in the military… Total PUKES!!!! BRAVO ZULU on your 2nd Place for 2AD Tank Gunnery cycle back in 74 in the Gunner's position..

Exactly, if you can "Soldier" as a Tanker, whether as an Army Tanker or Marine Tanker, it matters not. I have seen both down range at work at “Area 51”…. And it is still the basic job description, “Steel On target”!!, He who fires first accurately WINS!!!!
