Good point........Preserving jobs, or preserving contracts? Possibly 2 different things?
I was an ADC/APC cadet, who ended up doing Area. From 1987 to 1996, (along with several others), I was valid on all three functions, (including EGGP Radar and Area CSC, OJTI/LCE and Examiner). All three were carried out at our unit, (that narrows it down a bit), and the job-satisfaction was astonishing, not to mention the flexibility the the watch-managers enjoyed when wrestling with CRATCOH.
