Are tank commanders officers or just senior NCO's? Anyone have any favorite tank videos or sites I could waste time on?

In the two scout platoons in A/1-7 Cav the TC (Commander) slots went as follows: Red 1: Plt. Leader, 2nd LT. Red 2: SSG Red 3: SSG Ref 4: Plt. Sgt, SFC. It all has to do with personnel. I've seen E-5s running tanks when we were understrength. Usually the progression of jobs goes: Loader, drvier, gunner, and, TC. |

Man, that sucks...On a MP team it goes like this in the HMMWV: Gunner, Driver, Team Leader. Then again....the gunners usually get to go back to the barracks and clean weapons while the drivers are still in the motorpool and the Team Leaders are hanging around the TOC. Probably has something to do with the driver and TL getting to Chill out in the armor of the HMMWV while I get to sit there and let it all hang out outside the armor. lol. |
