Yawn. My job was to stay on the air, without repairing any equipment.
My MOS was to repair that equipment, at a service depot. I broke
countless regulations to not only stay one the air, but to put the
facilities in top notch condition. There were times when I worked four
days, non stop. The chief engineers of the two Fairbanks stations
visited a few weeks after I left for home, expecting it to be in
shambles. They were shocked to see who well it was running, and wanted
to know who did the work. Another engineer told them that I did it, in
spite of orders not to. One of them told him, If I'd known he was that
good I would have hired him! Neeley laughed and told them they couldn't
afford to hire me. Make whatever claims you want. That base was
hazardous duty.
