Call for Fire - 81mm Mortars

2ndLt Ngo calling for 81mm fire at The Basic School.

[@LunarLocusts]

That’s the kind of NCO that I want to have training me.

[@ShaDOWDoG667]

That cut to the mortar team after FFE gave me a chubby.

[@xisotopex]

as it should!

[@sull6976]

Good job fellas. Imagine doing this on the fly in a combat zone back in the 40s. Before the paperwork and safety insuring procedures. Crazy.

[@d.b.5070]

I love the enthusiasm, it’s really nice to see

[@everythinggarage]

I know this is marines, but i just enlisted for 13F (fire support specialist) for the army and this looks fun as hell. I ship Aug 26th. cant wait. Thank you for your service. 🤙

[@everythinggarage]

@@hamachersjourney3499 no i dont:( i sold my PC since im leaving soon. ill most likely be getting a laptop after basic. I've been wanting to play so bad, i watch so many videos of that game lol

[@calebguillory8284]

You mad yet?

[@39KHall]

That...was educational. Thanks for putting it up.

[@blackdotlv]

loved every second of it❤

[@in0the0skies]

when it comes to the standard, as soon as you drop 50, it is doctrine to FFE.

[@in0the0skies]

also you dont need those cheat sheets

[@pppppppppppppppppppppb4036]

they're still good to have, i still use them@@in0the0skies

[@whodiedhere]

When using 80mm mortars it helps to be as accurate as possible. 120mm mortars and artillery have a much bigger room for error

[@MaCoop3r]

Fuck yes!! 0861! The BEST MOS in The Marines!

[@therock809]

Nope lol

[@misfits12o]

Best MOS is Raider/Recon if you wanna do cool shit. Admin if you want to work a 9-5, get swoll, and not lose gains from going to the field for weeks

[@itb4255]

@@misfits12o facts dude. The field fucks up my gains so bad. Its mad annoying.

[@tonyc.4392]

I wish I could get as excited about something as this instructor is teaching these kids how to kill rabbits with a pair of binos.

[@RetArmy1SG]

When you split the 100m bracket and are at 50m, you should be going to FFE.

[@calebguillory8284]

Nice job fellas

[@TVNDRA]

I WAS HYPED

[@Stevechap69]

Proper bracket method!

[@FNWendigo]

Being the RTO for an FDC in stressfull as fuck.

[@tathrok]

I was at a TOC more than a few times, and DIV a couple times and cannot imagine what you're talking about. And I was a pretty experienced high-level Jedi in the Spec-4 Mafia by then. Not sure what rank you were, but that can matter.

[@donaldo1961]

Professional guys ...

[@notinteresting1495]

I like this because it isn't some lame ass eib lane it's actual Mortar shit

[@moxx_deez_nuts]

bunch of nerds sitting behind the lines 😂 nah im joking, these boys are doing it great

[@xisotopex]

who are the instructors at the basic school? NCO's?

[@BS25999]

What sort of binoculars are these?

[@ColterBrog]

Might be Hensoldt?

[@mattm2894]

Im a rookie who only ever did 1 cff but they're doing that "splash" call wrong. Splash is initiated by the observer when he sees the impact. Why is the guns guy saying it and the observer responding before impact? Makes no sense

[@thomoski]

The Splash call is from the FDC to indicate 5 seconds to the round(s) landing - gives the FO time to make sure they're observing for adjust-fire missions - you can hear one of the observers counting down after the Splash call

[@m1da5wolf42]

Does anyone know what card/form number he is marking on?

[@Armand110]

If anyone can post a link to the cheat sheet, I’d be very grateful👍

[@honkhonk8009]

I noticed yall in the military use so much paper for stuff lol.
Documentation from maps down to even call for mortars, it seems yall gotta write it down.
Now I know yall dont wanna rely on an Ipad too much when shit gets real, but seriously it would be alot more simple lol.
Especially when the transition to guided mortars comes along.

[@jrident]

Why would you want to do anything else for a job?
