Not the 1stSgt, but I was an FO. Communications is the lifeblood of fire support. There are enough communicators attached to a Bn that they make up a very large platoon in HQ Battery. Every element in a BN/Battery needs a radio(s). For example, the Naval Gunfire Section on float had 4 radio operators out of 9 Marines and 1 Navy Lt. We had 3 PRC-104s, 3 PRC-77s, 1 MRC-138 and 1 M-151 M-110. Yes, its been awhile. It was great having radio operators with us, I learned a lot about field expediant antennae. What do you do? Lots of PM (get your erasers out), make sure everything is SL-3 complete, fix broke radios, and get the nets up, ant farms, bury wire,radio watch. But, as a SSgt, you will be supervising that. IN the field you will be hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I think you will enjoy it.

Thanks, 1stSgt.

And Last but not least:

Marine Battery, MCAD Ft. Sill

I seem to remember one of 12 Marines btry being with 5/10 before everyone started getting mixed up within 10 MAR. I want to say I 3/12

It wouldnt surprise me. Look at the 10th Marines website, everyone is all jumbled up.

I was with G2/12 which was part of 5/11. They had actually named it that after 5/11 moved from the stumps to Pendleton in 92.

Echo 2/11 came back from Oki in Nov of 92 an two weeks later we changed our flag to Golf 2/12

Eat donuts, hide out at the antfarm

Seriously you will be a busy young man, in addition to your Comm duties, there is a better than average chance that you will be slagged for Local Security.
