We really got proficient with RDs when we did a 60 day commitment to the ACE Board testing the MARS and developing rigging procedures for RDs - a month down at NOSC EDU (Panama City) loading out of Tyndall and dropping 4 RDs/wk in the lake along the inland waterway and out in the Gulf for OTH runs really paid off for us as a team. Also got Mk14/15 (the MK15 could be used around magnetic mines) training.

Sometimes you lucked out and a 'detail' was really worth committing to during a support cycle.

SCUBA Teams were a whole lotta work - a whole lotta fun - and a whole lotta "That sounds good...let's try it!"...which was usually followed by a whole lotta "WHAT THE HELL WERE WE THINKING!!??!"
