The story is this: At 9pm I was working night duty in the avionics shop. We were scheduled to go home on standby at about that time and were about to cleanup and turn in our tools when the hanglar claxon 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. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired IIRC he has told a story in the past, either on this NG or one of the others, of being throw over board. He claims that's how men like him were taught how to swim. Problem is he wasn't smart enough to realize, they weren't trying to teach him how to swim. |

One other thing I'd like to ask.
Who signed to aircraft log, returning the aircraft to service after replacing the APU? That person should have been spanked for not testing in accordance with tech data I'm sure was in place concerning maintenance for that aircraft. The (avionics) shop chief (probably the highest ranking NCO in your unit) should have lost a stripe for allowing that to happen in the first place. You should have had your balls flattened out in a vice because....well, just because. I was authorized to sign equipment serviceable tags (yellow tags) and sign off the aircraft for return to service (from the avionics standpoint) as an E-3. I was also our midnight shift supervisor as an E-3. How many did I supervise? One (me). Bottom line is I was able to work alone, so I assume my shop chief had faith in my abilities. [sarcasm mode on] Am I a hero? You betcha, cause I did my friggin' job. [Sarcasm mode off]. Scott USAF 513th Avionics Maintenance Squadron (which no longer exists) |

Juan, you wanted us to check out your military service, so why don't you
sign a DA-1800? When I contact the NIS, and advise them that you might be wearing military uniforms or parts of military uniforms that you are no longer authorized to wear, I certainly will give them my name. The funny thing is, many of the regulars know exactly who I am. Why do you care who I am? Unlike you, I don't feel any great imperative to share my life with strangers. Juan, you have invited public scrutiny of your military career. Have you forgotten that? I am making no claims about my life, career, or aviation expertise that calls for qualification. |
