My Days in the Military Part 6: Computers

The Air Force uses computers for a lot of things. For instance the manual I used to fix jet engines was on a computer, be it a armored heavy duty computer that only has one function: the manual.

The computers were checked every now and then, usually annually if I remember correctly, and had a sticker saying they were serviceable. If they were found to be unserviceable the computer would be replaced with a slightly newer model, most likely from the late 1990's (Because the Air Force can't afford newer computers though we used them EVERY day, faster computers means job gets done faster people! Get a thing called common sense!)

So knowing this you will understand the scene of what I found it one morning:

The scene gave me a good laugh before I had to go through another boring routine of work (This is before I was allowed to work on the engines and had to clean up after everyone).
