Ok thats all, I cannot go into the acronyms for stuff within ORBAT

equipment.
Otherwise, the MSD might be on my head. Most of these can be found
in websites.

Puhlezzz.... there's no such vocation as armourer. It's called
Armament Technicians!! The one and only.
And armskotemen dun go under EWTW. That's a fallacy. Armskotemen
are basically ppl who take charge of armskote, but they DO NOT
repair weapons! Yea....they juz go there for a few days of
armskotemen training...and OMers too (or maybe never *shrugz*)
