Does anyone here have any experience with this MOS 13R, Field Artillery Radar Op? This is my MOS and i am heading to basic in 02/10. I know what this MOS does, but i want to hear about some experiences.

repeat after me:

Counterfire, tgt # FU1234, POO 12345 54321, Impact predict 54321 12345, RCS 67, VEL 200

EOM

Fill the generator

Q-36 is down for maintenance
Q-36 is up AOS 0900, maintenance complete.
Lather, rinse, repeat x 365


No I a not a 13R. It is an important MOS though.

13R is not a very large MOS, so that is probably why no one has responded to your questions...one of my Platoon sergeants who is a 13M, got attached to a radar unit while deployed and basically did a 13R job the whole time he was there, from what he said it was extremely boring, and fairly safe as far as deployments go...that's the best I can do for you

I'm currently deployed to Iraq and live right next to the radar(I'm a 19D, NOT 13R). My good friend is a 13R at the Radar on our FOB and what "FreshDonutsCoffee" said is pretty much true. You sit around, wait for a round to be recorded, sit around while the radar is being repaired, sit around some more. Fill the generator, repeat.
