We usually took about 1/2 to 2/3 of the squadron and went to such charming locales as NAS Fallon near Reno, NAS China Lake, and once Hill AFB near SLC. We were dis-invited from future TDY's at Hill due to a large scale disagreement with some of the Air Force types. Funny thing, same thing happened in Fallon with a disagreement involving some Seabees.Marc C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05593002055776765614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771208131691936867.post-55302290264978301672017-05-16T07:39:25.087-06:002017-05-16T07:39:25.087-06:00Made a number of weapons dets to Yuma back in the ...Made a number of weapons dets to Yuma back in the early 80's.

For many tasks there seemed to be so many different right ways of doing. I always found it best if management was, somehow, diverted from directly supervising the way the task got done but then, I'm pretty sure I hardly ever did it right.<br />Somehow, few grasp the power of merely putting one's hands in one's pocket and walking away with a parting invite to the taskee to, 'see you later when you're done.' OTOH, you gotta have faith in them that are learning the job and expect a few, minor, setbacks along the way.HMS Defianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024721130102173694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771208131691936867.post-7769042666137805242017-05-15T21:31:46.721-06:002017-05-15T21:31:46.721-06:00I think it'll work out.
