The first RAFLO at Hickam was a nav rad from BCBS. Every day he would come in and say "I'm posted" - where - Hawaii. Of course there was no such post. Then they established it and he got it. True.
Just read a very good book by Dr David Easter and Confrontation which talks about our East of Suez role and the need to withdraw from the Far East. When did the RAFLO job get disestablished?
