Did you Crewdogs ever wonder why your nose struts were always needed to be serviced? If the jet had no fuel in it and we needed to upload or download ammo we (loaders) sometimes had to drop the strut down a bit to get the ALS to connect up to the load gate

Goose and Dice I swear to God I never did that!! My crew always had enough ass to lift the load head up to the gate. Letting air out of the nose strut is bad juju.

Fender,

We usually knew what was going on,If the jet was going into Fuel Cell or had a Fuel problem we needed to Defuel for We would get out Weapons to Download AMMO before we Defueled and they would Up load AMMO after we refueled it or if it was on a Weekend Duty thing they would tell us if they let the strut down and we would just pump it back-up.
Carl and his folks and most of the other weapon Guys would always "Ask" and even put covers back on etc...... if they needed to do something.

You always had a "Few Pain in the ASS" ones but that goes both ways.

I wouldnt of got PO'ed about that unless it wasnt wrote-up or at least passed in the day book in the Truck.
Some of them even serviced the strut back-up (Mob)

It wasnt a real big problem in RED.

I would have been pissed if I ever found that someone had done that to me <b>if</b> they didn't tell me. I don't remember having "strut problem" at Moody or Shaw so I don't think it happen much there.

Ugly But Well Hung

We only had to do it on two or three spots on the 76Th ramp we had two big low spots out there My have been near drains down in the Bflt area Cant ever remember NOT telling crew we had to drop one of not entering it into forms

Carl,

I forgot about those "Drain's" and WLT always wanted to do
ICT EVALS on those spots.
The planes were on a Slant there.

We had a two man (Nappy Jennings?) drop a open cartcan out there one night and lost 12 carts down one of those drains You could see some of them about 15 foot down, before the rain washed them away. I think someone else lost a dogbone down there too.

Why Whatever happened to "Nappy" The last time I saw him was when they pulled him out of the Gulf in the fall of 90?

We use to set minnow traps at the pipe between us and OP's before we went fishing after work.
I remember the carts being down there but over on the 75th side they had those cotton mouths climbing out of there's alot when you got alot of rain and the Bayou would flood.
