An honor to talk about all my friends and comrades in Ukraine’s army who continue to fight for their freedom and sovereignty. Please continue to support Ukraine.

If you give me part of your country I’ll never attack you again… well not for a long time… maybe not this year… well certainly not for a week.

Outstanding article highlighting the importance of NCOs and Master Gunners in gunnery proficiency. Would like to see the correlation with these findings and what the Army discovered 30 years Ago with the Canadian Army Trophy (CAT) …oepwprd01.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/library/ebooks…
