Forward Observer

Could you be a Forward Observer, a soldier that goes ahead of the rest of infantry to recon an area finding targets, positions and information about the enemy? Known as 'FOs', they are an old tactic to pinpoint the enemy. This job required great risk taking that often put them near the enemy firing align.

Observer Forward

Were I ever to sign up or be drafted into Military service then I would be sure to remove myself from any hints of being a Forward Observer. I have seen documentaries about what these brave men / women do and it is no cocktail, in fact a lot of them become a target if they slip up. I feel there will come a day that robots will become aware enough to replace this as a duty for humans.
