GM - Gunner's Mate
It takes more than pulling a trigger to fire our weapons. In America’s Navy, we are the first and last line of defense, and that requires serious ammunition. As a Gunner’s Mate, that falls to you. Mount, stow, and secure all weaponry, repair and calibrate defense systems, maintain guided missile launching, rocket launchers, gun mounts and all other ordnance. If it shoots, it’s your responsibility. Whether your ship is assisting Marines with combat operations or defending itself from terrorist threats, it’s up to you as a Gunner’s Mate to oversee all weaponry on board.
