Cooks?

Hey buddy;
The A teams may get all the glory, press and pictures but there is a bunch of guys standing behind them. In addition to the regular cast of characters on my B team we usually traveled with a cook, two riggers and a wrench monkey to some of the more remote and interesting places.
Those guys would work as hard if not harder than the regular guys in keeping the A teams in the field and doing "their thing". I treated them as team members and they replied in kind with their hard work.
The cook said he liked going anywhere with us rather than stay at home station. Same with the mechanic so our request went in with their names on it. Got them every time.
It takes all kinds to keep the big green (tan) machine in the field and working.
