Remember: military justice= guilty untill proven innocent.

Hey Jerry, I'll have to give it to JAG also... fell asleep with the outboard engines running on a C-130. I was doing a pressure check(with hot air) on the flight line at Tan Son Nhut. Working 16 hours+/day at the time. (my defense)Woke up to MP's and shop chief waiting for me to depressurize! Just wound up with write-up, no pay/grade loss....JAG did good by me!

Placards were out Jerry, only slept about 35 minutes. Never gave thought to what would happen if battery was disconnected with engines running. No ground carts. Their biggest !!!!! was with shop Chief, should have been two people when pressure testing on engines.... maybe that's why I got off so light... (some extra duty, write-up.).... oh well stuff happens!

jerry · 09-12-2006, 08:55 AM

Funny! Whenever I got a newbie I used to take them up and after some time at pressure, make like there was some kind of problem, act panicked and pop the dump valve! Instant fog and the look on their face was worth a million. LOL! Turnabout is fair play, right!
