There are four crew positions on the M-1 series Main Battle Tank. The Tank Commander(TC) is responsible for commanding and coordinating all actions of the crew. The Gunner(GNR) is responsible for acquiring and engaging targets with the main gun and coax machinegun. The Loader(LDR) is responsible for loading the main gun and engaging targets with his machinegun. The Driver(DVR) is responsible for maneuvering the tank. All crew members are responsible for the maintenance of the tank and must be able to assume the duties of their fellow crewmen if necessary.

How hot does it get inside an Abrams tank?

"Actually the m1a1 Abrams is air tight to prevent leaks and fire damage so to keep the crew from suffocating the Abrams has air conditioning so despite the fact that its 125 degrees in Iraq our tank crews are siting in beautiful 62 degree weather" I can tell you were not a 19K Armor crewman. The abrams does not have air conditioning. Actually, during normal operations the inside of the tank will run a little hotter than the outside air temp. The previous answer was refering to the NBC (nuclear , biological, chemical) system. This system basicly cycles air through the engine to burn of particles, then cools that air and pumps it to the crew compartment via hoses at each station that the crew can attach to their gas mask.


If a ship sinks at sea what compensation is provided for the crew?

Most ships are crewed by International crew members from all over the world. Thusly, there are rarely unions or any rights for workers. Each crew member has an emergency duty to carry out in such an emergency, including evacuation and abandon ship, if necessary. Surviving crew members will often be sent within days to another vessel within their fleet to complete their contracts, if they wish to continue employment with the company. In the unlikely event any crew members do not survive the event, the cruise line will likely contact the family members on record and make arrangements to transport remains (if any) and pay out any wages earned along with any insurance monies for senior crew members. Each fleet of ships will follow protocols outlined based on the laws of the country the ship sails under.
