OMG! I was stationed at Roosey from 90-94 and that TA-75 you are sitting on was still in use. I remember cutting the MAF to have it pained white. That was the most rediculous Technical Directive I'd ever seen. Support Equipment had been yellow for so many years that it was referred to as "Yellow Gear." I remember a pen and ink change to the 4790 being issued not to long afterward stating that the term "yellow gear" was in fact synonymous with the term "Support Equiment," that it has nothing to do with the actual color of the gear, and that it would continue to be referred to as "yellow gear" even though it was now white.

Hey Piason,
This is a classic! What a time we had back then. Do you remember the pickup truck full of mangos I brought back to Bundy?
