firehawkordy 34 Posted December 9, 2003 I don't know who wrote this or when,but it was sent to me by a fellow AO and it's just as true now as when it was penned. So this is for all the Ammo Troops and Ordies, we know who we are. ;) The Life of an "AO" It's always the way And an average by law We can work til hands Or our backs are quite sore Then back to the shop No compaints, not a sound Then the Gunner walks in And we are all sitting down If the ammo's expended On the morning patrol When the pilots return A quick refill's our goal Then we pack all our gear For the shop we are bound Then the Gunner walks in And we are all sitting down On a dive bombing hop We load all the racks Then the pilots take off To make their attacks Then back to the shop We' re all smiles, not a frown Then the Gunner walks in And we are all sitting down If the synchronized guns Are not firing just right They give us no reason Hell, that's our plight Then we weed out the trouble So they'll fire every round Then the Gunner walks in And we are all sitting down If the sights need adjusting Or a bomb rack that sticks Well that is our baby Cause we know all the tricks We can check on a plane From the top, to the ground Then the Gunner walks in And we are all sitting down If the bomb trucks foul up And we haven't a jeep Well, that's no excuse Cause we still have our feet Then back to the shop We report what we've found Then Gunner walks in And we are all sitting down Now don't get us wrong We're not beating our gums But it seems mighty funny The way our luck runs We can work 20 hours And no one is around Then the Gunner walks in And we are all sitting down ~ Anonymous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
