Well done! In early 2000 I sat off the coast of East Timor on the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit for around 2 weeks, then we went to Darwin, Australia for a few days in port. Went back to Perth in 2007.

Army vet from 1998-2010 Artillery Forward Observer then became a Warrant Officer as a Targeting Officer. I run a nonprofit BJJ school that is free for veterans. Both training and gear is free.
Nice! I was an FO for the first half of my career. FISTers lead the way.

Professional Soldier. Was a fire support specialist back in the day.
Thanks for posting! I was not an FO, but we did lots of calling in Naval Gunfire (islands in the Pacific) and calling in Arty (the desert), and some Arty in combat (rare), more CAS. I always like the Naval Gunfire rounds, how they sometimes skip a few times before detonating.
