[MilCom] Identified - Re: SAME 40

[Roger Strohmeyer]

That's a great website.

"Good duty" is right. In the illustration of RC-135S what does the guy
do that sits in the giant stool\Kirk's chair that goes into a little
"Cone of Silence?". (only *really* old people know what the cone of
silence is) Does his head actually sit in a clear dome where he can
see 360 degrees?...and snap photos? ;-)

Have a Happy and *safe* 4th everyone!
