For me it's writing backwards. Taught at A School so you could write on the backside of plexiglass vertical plots so you didn't stand in the way. Replaced by display panels on the bulkheads. So if you learned how to operate the Davy Crockett, that's long gone too. A-6 bombardier, got it. What's yours?

Here is one of the floors I attacked with a buffer. Notice the shine. spread paste wax with i then put a cut of piece of GI blanket under the brush and vola, it shined like a mirror. This picture was the lounge area of a Minuteman missile topside building Lima ! of the 351st Strategic Missile Wing, (SAC) at Whiteman AFB, MO

SMSgt Lawrence McCarter - Someone in my barracks at Bragg got the bright idea of getting one of those fluffy toilet seat lid covers your Mom liked and you hated because they wouldn't let you put the lid and seat up to stand-n-pee without holding it up with the non-peeing hand. Anyway... they tied nicely around the buffer brush fluffy side down. 1SG grumbled about...of all things...the sundry colors of our "yarn-based buffer brush liners" and forbade colors other than Navy Blue and Forest Green. Pink was Right Out!

Well, you might not make much money with them, but all civilian drop zones could use your skills.

SSgt Terry P. - I wish I'd heard that saying " I love the smell of Napalm in the morning", before I went to Vietnam. I would have changed it to "burning shit", LOL.
