TARF

Hello friends,

One simple question...if you will.

What was the single, most important thing to remember when you shoved a paper TARF through the comm window?

Re: TARF

Each line could contain 80 characters, when the RM's needed to guess a character because of poor penmanship the meaning of the report could be different than intended.

Re: TARF

Bang on the slot to make sure the RM was aware of out going message if the were asleep.

Re: TARF

I remember doing that at Point Sur because it was literally a metal slot through the wall with a basket? tray? on the comm side to catch it.

Re: TARF

That it was properly initialed by me and the Coordinator.

I remember in Arg in the middle 60s, we had a young 3rd class by the name of Bill Forseth. Forseth considered himself pretty quick and he would demonstrate that speed on the mid watch by racing the bunny tubes from the WO desk to comm. Can't say that I recall the actual outcome but it was fun to watch. He was pretty quick.

Re: TARF

Depending on the tempo at the time, that you gave a TARF to the RM's! LOL LOL After the Chief & WO signed off, of course . . .
