I was AF Tech Control and I really admired Navy Tech Controllers at, Stockton and Sunnyvale and overseas at the NAF and NSGA. Seaman Flowers was visiting our TCF one night after dropping off at the Comm Center. When I commented about it he pointed out that on shipboard ET's have to know their job and the other guys job too. That's why we got six months of tech school and the Navy got two years. I'll never forget how they cut the modules for Antennas and Waveguides from our Tech Control course just before I got there to Keesler.
That TACAMO sounds like it was the real war. My most interesting was the TCF in the United States Readiness Command building when they were still setting up RDJTF, what later became CENTCOM.
