Before the beginning of our Summer Schedule. Each Cannoneer is put through a thorough drill for Safety. The drill/training is a full day of training and each recruit is tested on all positions that he/she may hold during the firing of the cannon. The position of Gunner, usually a Corporal, is only held by a person that has worked with the cannon for many years. The Gunner calls the commands to the crew, and makes sure everyone is doing what they need to do, safely, before the cannon is fired. The Corporal is in the center with his hand in the air.
