Can you pick which position you want to do
What if you are bad at that particular position?
Thank you in advancd
If you are a NCM in the arty you can do a wide variety of jobs. You can work on the gunline as a M777 detachment member, doing all the jobs from putting ammo together, loading, being the det commander, etc as you progress.
you can also work within a field artillery Command Post, calculating gun data for firing and keeping situational awareness (with computers now thank goodness!)
You could also branch off into the Observation Post, Surveillance and Target Acquisition(STA), or Air Defence (AD, and yes, its still alive). If you do OPs you could be a LAV III driver, call fire missions, work with a FOO, and work within a FSCC later on. In the STA, you could work on a LCMR radar, a HALO accoustic weapon locating system, Scan Eagle (or replacement) UAV, or the Raven Mini UAV. In the AD, you can work within an Airspace Coordination Centre, and in a few years, within an Air Defence weapons det and AD radar det (Weapon expected in 2019ish, radar expected 2015ish).
