The Driver observes and announces 'BORE CLEAR' immediately after initial receipt of 'FIRE MISSION' and at 'END OF MISSION'. True or False?

Bore clear is a safety declaration that the gun bore has been inspected and found free of obstructions before loading and firing. The key point is that this check is performed and announced when you have confirmed the bore is clear, as part of the pre-fire sequence, not as a repeated action tied to two separate moments in the mission. So, announcing bore clear immediately after receiving FIRE MISSION and again at END OF MISSION isn’t standard procedure. You perform the bore check, declare it clear, and then proceed with loading and firing if the bore is clear. At the end of the mission, other procedures take place, and bore clear is not routinely repeated simply because the mission concluded.
