The story is this: At 9pm I was working night duty in the avionics

went off



Not sure about the MC, but in the Air Force, going on standby meant
things were slow and you didn't pull your entire shift sitting in the
shop...you went back to the dorms or the bowling alley with a pager so
they could get a hold of you if needed.


Then again in the Air Force we had "hangars" instead of "hanglars"
and we'd get called over a radio or land line. We didn't need a klaxon
of that's what yawn meant when he said "claxon."

Pity he never served on Navy boats, he would have been heaved over
the side.
