I was amused at the description "diddly bop" for an intercept operator. If you avoided the mostly shift work of intercept, then it was good for your health. Of course being a Marine could also be very hazardous, that I will concede.
Cordially.
I was a soldier, my late father was the Marine. I’d seen all of the Marine Corps that I cared to see with him being a career man. And I did plenty of shift work in my two tours in Korea. LOL
