I used to say that to a friend of mine on the staff-whenever I went down to visit him in TFCC. Because in the Eisenhower Battle Group in 1994-1995, the link picture ( Link-11 primarily and some Link-16) was always f*cked up. The blame normally lay with a weak track supervisor-and an “Aegis superior” reporting doctrine that eschewed sectors of reporting responsibility. (Plus a whole lot of technical details that are no longer worth discussing).
So I used to drop into TFCC especialy late at night and ask of my friend, “Ray, ease my pain. Fix the link”.
Even in later years-it was my opening greeting to him always.
So now its time to fix the links. Surgery will be in progress for most of this evening. Take a look at the new “like” and “dislike” buttons in the comment section.
