    I used to drink with the Raytheon Tech Reps back in the very early 70s. At least one Tech Rep would follow the fleet from port to port in the Med. If there was a serious casualty to one of our weapons systems, they would sleep on board. They slept and ate in Officer's Country but they drank with the enlisted Fire Control Techs.

    A decade earlier it was the Philco Tech Reps that helped with our early all SS crypto gear, lots of birthing pains but a free Med trip was a bonus, they bunked with the chiefs. Several had their families with them.

    We also had Collins reps working out early URC-32 and remote antenna tuner bugs.

    In the mid 80's when I was leading a computer system/network engineering team on the Carl Vinson during her shake down cruise I chose to stay with the chiefs, lots more enjoyable than junior ossifers:p:D

    It is about time for the USAF to obtain a "second-source"
    for SDR-based airborne HF, now when the Thales SALAMANDER wide-band HF architecture is becoming fielded at our "side of the pond".

    The Collins AN/URC-32 was a fine radio. I went to a three week "factory" school at Norfolk Naval Shipyard around 1973. Why they called it a factory school has always confused me because the factory was not in Virginia. They did have two or three instructors from the "factory" there. It was a good school with mostly hands on training. You had to be an E-5 or above to attend this school, Mostly ETs but, if memory serves, we had an RM Chief there as well.

    Once the bugs got worked out it became a mainstay for decades. I started on it as an ET3 and left Active Duty as ET5, no school, just OJT!

    Never worked on one again as the Reserves had other things for me to do:rolleyes:
