I don't know if it is still the same today, but during the Vietnam era it was "hurry up and wait."

 

[Gettmore]

Yea, the grunts are waiting on the command to fire. If the OFFICER will ever give it....

This is not waiting. They are half way through the loading process. There are still guys in front of the muzzles swabbing them prior to adding more powder. When the guns are ready to fire, all those crew members will be behind the cannon's wheel, leaning away from the muzzle, and covering their ears. Then they will wait....
