The Good Old Days?

I remember an E8 or E9 that came up from aircraft maintenance, and became NCOIC of computer maintenance. He had no idea what was going on. He leaned on safety switch while giving a tour, and brought down a Q-7 (SAGE). Almost as bad as the WAF who tried to use a screwdriver to stop a drum for PM. I don't know if they ever found the screwdriver.....

Maybe you had to be there. The Army loaded up the Signal Corps with 2nd Looies every June. Had to put the ROTC types somewhere they wouldn't do too much harm. So we were the dumping ground. My company had 216 Lts out of 300 men total. The stories that could be told! And definitely not OT. Billy
