During the whole train up I was skeptical of the brad but I&#8217;m not going to lie shooting the 25 and the coax gave me a hard on.<\/p>\n<p>We had instructors from Ft. Benning come down every month for about 6 months and get us prepared for gunnery. We did disassembly and assembly of the 25mm, vehicle ID, crew drills, and the\u00a0COFT (which is a giant video game essentially.) When we went to Irwin we essentially did a typical dry, blank live scenario. Our iterations consisted shooting targets on the move, in an NBC environment, using the hand wheels (in the event the gunners hand station fails), night shoots\u00a0and shooting moving targets etc. All in all it was a pretty enjoyable experience even though we had to deal with the typical maintenance issues that are involved with the\u00a0Bradley.<\/p>\n<p>Just an FYI&#8230; Bring the Heat Bring the Stupid also posted the flicker account a few months ago but I thought you guys would\u00a0enjoy it.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/\/photos\/75641769@N04\/sets\/72157629485015989\/show\/\">Gunnery!<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30738\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30738\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/397054_2853064537096_1831997809_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30738\" title=\"Track India 23 with myself, my BC, and Driver\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/397054_2853064537096_1831997809_n-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/397054_2853064537096_1831997809_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/397054_2853064537096_1831997809_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30738\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cool guy picture after gunnery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30739\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30739\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/403917_352168594812656_760481372_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30739\" title=\"403917_352168594812656_760481372_n\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/403917_352168594812656_760481372_n-300x209.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/403917_352168594812656_760481372_n-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/403917_352168594812656_760481372_n.jpg 792w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30739\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Myself with India 21 Gunner on left<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought you guys would appreciate this but my Troop did gunnery in January and my &hellip; <a title=\"Gunner COAX Troops!\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=30737\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Gunner COAX Troops!<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":627,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-military-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/627"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=30737"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30737\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=30737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=30737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
