Salute to all that are or have served.

Basic training as artillery spotter -86-87, learning how to shell the neighbours arty with 155's.

Now I've been platoon commander in the Swe national guard since 2000 and will persist until they shut us down completely! I guess the switch from arty to grunt is easier than the other way around.

But i do miss hearing the big zippers being pulled across the sky, trying to have the solution for the second volley ready before the first hit....
