[QUOTE="Pokinfun, post: 3072869, member: 28113"] A couple of years ago I watched an artillery unit emplace and fire a few rounds on Ft Sill. If I had been the Chief of Firing Battery, I would have gone ballistic on the entire battery. We would have march ordered and emplaced continuously for the next few days. We would have kept going until we were proficient at each task before we have ever fired a round. The reason they were not proficient was because of the lack of training related to the War on Terrorism. The soldiers may have been experts at patrols and convoys, but sucked at their actual jobs. I'm not sure of the issues on those ships besides what I saw on the news. The issue could have been related to a lack of funding, training, or just plain old incompetence, I don't know. However, I do know that someone on those ships should have identified an issue and corrected it before those crews ever put anyone in danger. [/QUOTE]
