I worked in the 'Weathervision' section at Ft. Rucker, and as a broadcast engineer at the radio & TV station at Ft. Greely. (USARAL) I was slotted for the AFRTS TV facility in Vietnam in '73, but when my orders arrived they were for the US Army Cold Weather research Facility at Ft. Greely, Alaska. We were allowed zero downtime, yet everything was classed as 'Depot level repair only'. In spite of that, I rebuilt the station with whatever I could find. A lot of the equipment was classed as factory repair only, and was so old there were no spare parts. I grabbed junk TV sets that were on their way to the landfill to get some of the parts I needed.
