That's the way itis done time and time again, dry run after dry run, at night, during the day, in the heat of summer or the cold of Winter and usually during chow. But in spite of the sometimes awkward and lengthy sessions the spirit and morale remain high even if it be at the expense of good natured Abie Kline, who incidentally was clocked at sixty seconds flat from forward plot to Sky I, nine decks above. In addition FA supplies a majority of the baseball and basketball players for the ship,s teams as well as lielding their own superlative basketball team. To prove the worth of the myriad drills and the skill of the technicians and operators we proudly display our record of downed sleeves, small drones and, yes, even an F617 large drone. 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!A V!ffff!!XfffffflfffffflfffffflffffffffffffifffflfX!ffffffffffffffffffffffz!!!lV !!Z!! lfnou' llton: .L ,I.USh--nIl.r.
