Flair vs flare

Club. Lived with the Marines (Camp Schwab) while the station was under
construction.

That would have been LORAN A....right? :-)
We were blessed with coupled INS/DOPPLER, quite a change from the LORAN A
sets that we had in the P-2s.

It was a loran C station. In 1959-60 I had done the same thing on St. Paul
Island in the Pribilofs...that one was a combined loran A/C station.

Interesting....I didn't think that "C" went that far back.

When I was in the communications division at USCG HQ in 1957-58, we handled
tons of messages about loran-C installations from Europe and the Middle
East. I remember Wheelus AFB in Libya specifically, but there were lots of
others.

I get more upset about the misuse of the word prostrate when
they mean prostate.

The worst is "few" when actually "a few" is intended. Nothing turns the
meaning on its head more

I thought that was what the old horse said when asked if he'd like
some oats. The horse replied, "A few."
