Made it most of the way through the supply department at NOB NORVA before someone actually applied clue to the requsition. Of course he was amused, but all the officers who had already approved the order, and therefore looked like the limp, inneffectual, useless twits they were, seemed to be upset for some reason. The "neutron turbine" did pretty good, too, until someone called our chief engineer and asked if he knew of a vendor, since they'd spent the last week looking for one without much success. I really miss the supply department at Naval Operations Base, Norfolk Virginia some times. I never appreciated how much recovery they had to offer until much too late. R
