Yep, new job, new call sign, same blogger. As of this morning, I am the CO's new official gunner.
What that means for me: I get to go outside a lot more. And lemme tell you - it is hot out there. Especially up in that turret. Occasionally there's a slight breeze, which is nice. But most of the time it's me sweating the pounds off and waving my flag at oncoming traffic in order to get them out of the way. Luckily, pretty much everyone everywhere knows the deal by now and gets out of the way for us without any trouble.
Also on the perk side: I now get some quality time to bond with our new CO. He's not much of a bonder so far....so it's a work in progress. That said, I think he likes me more than the last gunner (who is now away shooting mortars). I'm thinking the key with him is to discuss work and related topics. As opposed to the constant sex talk the last crew enjoyed (who knew Rush Limbaugh fans could be so uptight - with apologies to the fans reading this).
Pics from the turret soon!
