We had two people on watch. The E-4 and below got to wander around the hangar, flight line and squadron spaces with a radio and a flashlight. They had nightsticks for a while, until we figured out that no one had any training on them and they were as likely to hurt themselves as an intruder. The E-5 or E-6 stood the phone watch and the E-7 and up stood their watches from home.

In New Orleans we shared a hangar with a Marine UH-1N squadron. They had cameras. We still walked around. It was humiliating.

But that's what happens when you have nearly unlimited manpower and the manpower can't quit. :)

Lessee....Maine, Navy...that would be Brunswick, eh?

P-3s and C-130s, if memory serves. We used to send A-7s cross-country up there with blivits full of crawfish and trade for lobster.
