Drinking Coffee  WILUM just reminded me it was AFR 35-99.  Not HRP-99, so it was an Air Force regulation. My memory isn't what it used to be, must have been the smell of MEK in the morning.  I still use KimWipes for coffee filters from time to time.

Wilum, I certainly remember what a "zipper" is, but I don't recall any jargon for a 'jammer' unless you're speaking of the penetration aids. (although I only remember calling them PenAids for short)

Jammers are vehicles used for loading bombs and missiles on aircraft, for example, the MJ-1AlB Aerial Stores Lift Truck, known as the ‘Ijammer.

Sorry HG, a jammer is the MJ-1 bomblift truck.

“My memory isn’t what it used to be, must have been the smell of MEK in the morning.”

When I was in the Safety Office I received a report about a missile mnx troop at Minot who was using MEK to melt the ice in the holes used for the guard rails at an LF.

It seems he splashed some of it on his parka and when he lit the another match he went up in flames. He didn’t get burned badly but the incident made site penetration at the northern tier bases take longer.
