[Public-List] Trouble shooting MARINE ELECTRICALS

   During my second childhood in the Infantry we were a bit different.  We
   simply referred to all other branches as Support.
   Also your comment about fiberglass is interesting.  It seems we haven't
   come a long way with splinters being a major cause of casualties.

If man does find the solution for world peace it will be the most revolutionary
reversal of his record we have ever known.
