I haven't seen this thread in awhile.. sorry for not responding sooner. No Sir, I'm a 13R (Firefinder Radar Operator). When a mortar, rocket, whatever goes up in the air, my nifty radar tells me the location from where it came from and I send that information up and they either do a counterfire mission on it, go and send out a patrol or ignore it because sometimes it just isn't worth it.

Sometimes we miss that round and it lands on the FOB (usually that means our radar wasn't facing the direction from where the round came from) and we run out and analyze the crater and determine where the round came from on how the crater is formed. That part of my job isn't fun because while everyone is running toward a bunker we are running toward the action

But other than that I live a dull life.. and thanks for the support davecpa and everyone else!
