73' B3 340 Duster pro touring build

Why people don't take that stuff seriously any more is beyond me.

For some reason, many people subscribe to the belief that nothing is sacred secret or sensitive anymore. I can't count how many times I briefed people to turn off their stupid electronic devices and locator services when we were deployed. Yes, it was pretty common knowledge where we were (the media broadcast it more than once), but that never changed the need to just be anonymous and do what we went there to do...between that and nosy busy-body spouses, you could almost pin people down to the min/sec lat/long.

I've never had the fortune of meeting any legit spec ops dudes, but a couple of my aircrew friends have...and they loved having them aboard their aircraft. Allegedly some of the easiest folks to get along with until about an hour before drop--then they were all business.
