Got to pull the go switch on a 105mm Howitzer. That was a memory. Kaimanawa horses running for cover

For a couple years we used to have to cost every munition and expendable store we used when planning exercises. It was a frigging mundane chore. It would then have to be approved by PL commander then the coy CO before going to the poges in the TRG wing for final approval.
I remember some mortar rounds @1500 and maybe M72s. Grenades we were using were definitely just over $600. Cheap ass Singaporean. However, I can can understand why they would have charged OCS extra as they would all require extra instructions and even brail on the grenade, that would certainly cost more money.
