I was with Mag 39 82-92, and deployments in that time
Mals 26 GSE 95-98 (6072), the black sheep of the wing.
During my time the thing to do to FNG's was to send them to another shop asking for a "stack of 73's" (referencing 6073's aviation electricians) of course this would be frowned upon today from what I have been told.;)Quote:
anyone remember going for some flight line as a newby to the airwing? I do
Wow, nice memories!
Fod Waaaaaaaaaaalk!!!
VMA 133
as Supply I would send FNG's to other sections asking for flight line, comm grease, and left handed wrenches
MALS-31 GSE here 1988-1996, despite a brief stint with VMFA(AW)-332. Spent my career "stationed at Beaufort" but deployed whenever I could. I was a 6073, but started my career as a 6078. Any information on MALS-31 GSE is appreciated, past and present. Stingers! I was there when the name/patch was created.
