That's what I was a fister. 13 foxtrot fire support specialist or aka forward observer. We called in arty rounds or cas(close air support). They call us Fisters because our mos logo is a fist holding a lightning bolt so that's where the term fister came from

    • @SimmySquad
      @SimmySquad 3 роки тому +41

      As a 20 year Fister working as the BDE FSNCO, our DS in AIT always said it was because the FST (Fire Support Team) was called “Fist” as it was easier. And as it grew, the FO’s would say “I’m a Fister” and it’s grown as such. Yes our gauntlet is a fist holding a lightning bolt but I believe that emblem was derived after the slang term.

If the bolt sends a round forward and you have a misfire for some reason (usually cheap rounds) then the round will sit in the barrel, Or receiver assembly, and can cook off if its hot. Thats why you treat every misfire as a hangfire and wait before ejecting it. Last thing you want is to eject a round and have it grenade on you.
