The guy on the ground with the laser designator does tho so it is not just an Arc Light mission. They call themselves "fisters" FO's... We have a good friend in MX who is just finishing up a lot of training to be a Fister.. We are very proud of him. A 'fister' is a member of an artillery fire support team. 'FO' stands for 'forward observer', also part of the team. Yeah, our bud just went off to FO school, just made it in... Is he an officer or enlisted? The actual FO is usually an officer, 2LT, but he has an enlisted sidekick/driver/RTO who also needs to be able to direct artillery fire. |
