INT ZBZ? Oh how I miss being active duty and a radioman! RMA school 1984 NTCC's Portsmouth and Little Creek NAVCAMSLANT NAS Bermuda FSSC DET one Amchitka NCTAMSLANT DET Hampton Roads I loved being a radioman. 12 hour watches, busy friday nights, slow sunday days, paper tape footballs to get across the net, OCR readers jamming up, circuits to troubleshoot, movin' traffic with no "nondees", doing HJ's... Technical advancements were fast and furious for my entire career. Went from a teletype to a PC in about 10 years. When I finally landed orders to RIXT school it became obsolete a year later! I'm pretty sure that even now I could construct a perfect header with a complete FL2. I was placed on the TDRL in 1999 and then retired in 2004. I really do miss it. Hope all you radioman out there are doing well! BT
