Very well done. I served as FO, FDO, and XO in the late 60s in 105, 155, 8-inch, and 175mm units. It was the time when everything went from manual computations to the magic of FADAC. It was a courts-martial offense for the battalion commander to try and use the generator that the FADC had assigned to it. That is just how special that Big Box was. Lots of memories. We took ourselves "out" one night during a critical fire mission. We had to pull the long tubes up off their blocks and relay them. We did it in the dark without much thought about where the shock wave from a zone three mission was going to go. After the third round, the FDC was in shambles; chart tables, radios, the lights, and much of the sandbag roof was on the floor, and we could not even tell battalion what had happened. Guess who showed up at first light? He had wings on his collar. I love that shit!
