Master Jack is wrong! I care! Problem is that I can only get about half right. And I sure don't remember the dog's name.

Re: Surprise quiz, fill in the blanks

Randy,
I believe the dogs name was "Queenie" Or that is a what I remember when I first came to the Gate for a Mid Watch and the female dog wanted to bite my A__ off so I learned her name right then and there, Then I met "George" or PO1 Widenor I should say.
Fond memories.

Signal Excess...........But it never really worked.

Re: Surprise quiz, fill in the blanks

John it didn't work in your mind anyway! :) I always wondered...if SE was zero they said you had a 50% chance of detection....did that depend on who was on watch?? lol. Making those questions up hurt my head....answers may be forthcoming when I recover!

Re: Surprise quiz, fill in the blanks

Randy,
Only if the on-watch supervisor was our favorite evaluation bandit. Reading that quiz hurt my head too but I think I actually remembered most of them. I think you should have included 225ma for Jack so he could have understood something. By the way........I have been thinking of ratios and parameters all day thanks to you. Hope all is well with you and the family.
