Those Opening words, so familiar to every man in OE Division, have frequently resulted in several electronics technicians being engulfed amid the Wires, capacitors and transistors of a dissembled radar repeater, working on the macks high above the waters of the Tonkin Gulf Or, perhaps, trying to discover the cause of a malfunction- ing transmitter in Radio Il. Never to be forgotten were Bitterman Kurtz grumbling about TACAN checks, and Sleep- ing beauty Yopp with his familiar l'm tired, l'm starved, when does chow go down.
