“As a guy that worked Grave shift on a flight line in Minot”
Six years at Loring AFB and never once did the Flightline close down.
Amazing. It could have been minus 26 outside the front and back gates and it NEVER got below minus 26 on that darn flightline.
Minus 65 was our limit and they would stop updating temps at 0300. If it was really bad they’d break that rule and drag your butt inside ASAP. Dead troops aren’t much good.
Something Russians haven’t learned.
My specialty took 10 months of school.
and years of practical to get good at.
Hard to replace that, with a draft.
