hey all, im on my arty DP1 mod 2, i need some help finding an acronym (dont know if thats spelled rite) to help me memorize the GPO's sequence of orders (15 steps)...thanks alot if any one can help a future gunner! only 3 more weeks then im qualified and getting posted !
 
15 steps?  Dude, as a gunner, all you need to do are two things: First, get in range.  Second, shoot when told ;D

(Sorry, couldn't resist, and worse yet, I don't have an answer for you)
:salute:
 
Are you talking about the 15 steps to Battle Procedure?

Because if you are there wasn't an acronym I could use but thinking it through by logical sequence always worked well.

IE: I can't do anything without being told what I may be doing ( Receive Initial Wng O) follow the steps from there such as OK I now know what I might be doing so lets take a look at where I might be doing it (Conduct quick map study and time estimate).. See where I am going with this?

Again this is only if you are talking about steps to battle Procedure
 
its the Gpo sequence of orders for fire mission, starts off like this
Warning Order
Type OF engagement
trajetory
ammunition
converge
bearing
quadrant laying
gun correction
fuze correction
fuze setting
load
at my command
elevation
methood of adjustment for FFE
Description of Target
 
Same principal would apply my friend...

You can't shoot if you haven't been told you will shoot (Wng O)
And now that you might shoot what type of shoot wil it be ( Method of Engagement)
Where will the shoot hit (Trajectory)
etc etc etc
 
My aplogies if this offends anyone however, it is what I learned.

When
Tall
Texans
All
Come
Back
Queer
Good
Friends
Fight
Lots
And
Even
Men
Die
 
Got me through my DP1.1 with pretty good success and it's serving me pretty well this course.
 
Heres how I remember it from my QL3 in 1995.
When
Tall
Texans
And
Cocks
Become
Queer
Good
For
Fuck
Lick
All
Except
Muff
Diving

Please excuse the profanity, but thats how we remembered it.

That's how I learned it as well, we also had this little beauty for the must orders.

When-    Wng O
Anne-    Ammo
Bleeds-  Bearing
Eat-      Elevation
Mary-    Method or FFE

it has a certain charming vulgarity.
When-    Wng O
Apples-    Ammo
Bruise-  Bearing
Eat-      Elevation
Meat-    Method or FFE

There, a bit less vulgar?  ;D
