Hey! I was at Chenute TOO, albeit in the 90s. You'll be happy to know I did radar on probably the same giants you used 50 years earlier !!!!
Hey Caryl,,,,, Not so fast! What did you do at Chanute. I didn't know the field was still open. When I was there, they had the mess halls in old hanger buildings. I learned one thing on mess duty. I would stand in front of a case of eggs. on either side of me were large pans. I took an egg in each hand, cracked them on on the pan edges, bumped the eggs and tossed the shells. After a while, we became very proficient at the routine. At that time,,,, the #1 song of that time was "You gotta accentuate the positive, and eliminate the negative", by Bing Crosby. Oh yeah! Being in the Air Corps,,, They had Pilots, Co-Pilots, and Navigators. Navigators cleared food off the trays, Co-Pilots put the trays into the dish washer, and the Pilots took them out. We did also learn a few things about electronics while there. Me with Vaccum tubes,? you with transisters. What a leap!
Take care
