You might have if you hadn't switched horses. Canadian M109 batteries
have had two RTFLs each since around 1990.

What are they used for, specifically? I'd assume ammo distribution, but I
could be wrong. We weren't quite that fortunate in 10th Marines - *we* were
the rough terrain forklifts. One tends to become rather athletic on an M198
gun section, at least until that point in time where you wreck a knee or
throw out your lower back.
