Good to see you my friend, you had to be a fireman as a snipe right? As airman we had AC in all of our work centers, it was mandatory, felt sorry for the snipes and the flight deck boys because they had it way tougher than we did. Of course the AC wasn’t for our comfort but for the monstrous electronic machines they used at that time that ran hotter than hell.
Yea Fireman covered Machinist Mate, Enginemen, Electricians Mate, Hull Techs, Boiler Techs, Interior Communication, and Gas Turbine Spec. I worked in A-Div or A-Gang. They worked the Auxiliary equipment like Air Craft elevators, Conveyors, AC&R, Cryogenics, Boat Shop, Emergency Diesel generators, and steam heat.
