Just Another Day

In class today we decided to do the labs today and go over schematics and troubleshooting Friday and Monday, and test on Tuesday. The lab consisted of going through the turn-on procedure. Baldwin and I were paired again... we're doing it by tables, since there are two to a desk.

Otherwise, I did a lot of reading and finished Battleship Sailor. What a story that guy had. He was perched on the maintop of the USS California at his battle station while Pearl Harbor was attacked, having a bird's eye view of the carnage. He abandoned ship three times... those in command oscillated back and forth twice, and the third time, he had gone back alone on orders to man the radio for a short time. He dug in with others with a Springfield rifle and steel helmet on Ford Island for a few weeks before being ordered elsewhere.
