When I was loading nukes on B-52's for SAC, we used to joke that
we could predict with great accuracy when the next ORI would
"happen".

The following conditions had to be met:

Payday was on a Friday.
It was a 3-day weekend.
There was a Saturday somewere in the middle of that weekend.

Never failed!

My only SAC ORI experience was at Anderson, we had an advantage over other
Bases. The IG Team came through Hickam, we had at least eight hours notice
that they were on the way, and yes, the managed to show up on Friday! I had
been at Anderson about two weeks, and was not yet on a load crew, thus I
played gopher, and discovered that B52 generations can be an interesting
spectator sport.
