You commo types think it's rough now.

Yeah I guess they don't make us like they used to. On second thought I think I'd rather tap code than explain to the TL that his email doesn't work because of his operational error's even after a class

....ha just kidding

Commo school itself wasn't that bad. Trying to talk someone into humpin' the generator and seat up a mountain was the hard part...

Had that experience in Switzerland, walking up out of the valley twice a day.
The first couple of trips were always easy...you could get volunteers. Then everyone figured out what was going on, and it turned into a duty roster

The good ole' days...

Deanwells...that is hilarious...

BMT, a very interesting site, thanks for the URL. Here is an R-390a site that is interesting.

I always said DX-ing the hand crank generators led to the demise of the lieutenant slot, also meant someone else had to carry the rope!

I did have a Det CDR, who had been a roofer, he was the best generator operator, his arms were like my legs.
