    We sent several boots to the EAF at the stumps for a yard of flight line and a bucket of prop wash.

    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.

    Mals-31 Gse

    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.

    One of my favorites was sending the newbies out for a ID10T form, do the "math" and it is an idiot form.

    In my younger days when I was bullet proof and gonna live forever, I used these lighters like there was no tomorrow. What kind of "tokens" do you have these days.

    Flight line was always good, or 5 gallons of prop wash. All of these were followed-up with a phone call alerting those involved that a newbe was coming and to be prepared. I heard about plane watch in Millington but never "stood it". Anyone remember "The Anchor"?
