Thanks for the ping.
I feel for the crews pulling ten Alerts per month now. Back in the mid 70’s we had a crew member shortage in the Titan II system and for about three months we pulled 10/0 (ten Alerts and no Backups). With all the extra days of training and testing those three months were tough. Spending what seemed to be an endless number of days down in the complexes was mentally and physically wearing on the crew dogs.
I hope they get some fresh troops into the Wing to help alleviate the crews.
I’ll volunteer to come back and take some shifts. I’m sure not much has changed since I did this back in the 80’s.
