How did you find this site?= Someone told me about it
Comments= You can blame your type of duty on us. Our squadron was considered experimental.
We did such a damn good job they reconverted the rest of you DE's to DER's. Setup original picket stations off east coast. Then the YAGR's took over. Moved further out and at the time i left we were experimenting with the SUPERCONNIES.
I was the only qualified AEW operator in squadron and hen ship was on station they really used me, 20-22 hours straight on watch. We were standing port and starboard watches for last year i was aboard.
Nobody shipped over aboard Joyce at that time.
This is KILLER QUEEN.
