Adak ehh.. memories of the bad old days.. dear old Dad was a
researcher in the Navy, Biodynamics. He, being a Doctor, never got
the whole chain-of-command "thing" and really hated the showing up on
time and keeping his weight down for flight pay etc. So he ticked
off his CO after 4 years in Pensacola and a lab just for him we got
to visit Kodiak for a few months and the Navy had a researcher
playing Doctor with patients. He enjoyed it but no one else did..
