A very few of my fellow USAF FACs got a chance to work the Jersey (?) against targets in the northern part of 'Nam. The difficulty was the difference in terminology between Army and Navy, but we all learned it, just in case. To a man, they said it was unforgettable. Call in the coords, give the firing instructions, then wait. A minute or so later, the ground simply erupted as bison-weight shells impacted.

It was difficult enough working Navy fighters against a target due to the terminology gap, btw. Navy versus USAF versus Army standards was a booger to remember when you are getting your ass shot at.
