“UNAVAILABLE DAY”
Where else could this happen ? Major V. M. Marr who runs a U.S. fighter squadron up North reared up and spoke a piece to his men a while back. "Men, why don’t you take a break-have an ‘unavailable’ day.” Next day every officer in the outfit, including himself, was detailed for fatigues. They peeled the potatoes, cut the chops, cooked dinner, washed up and did police duty. They fuelled the planes, loaded ammo. and cleaned the motors. They swept, and scrubbed, ran teletyper and switchboards and communications and then they cleaned the latrines. Was that something? We'll echo, "Was it?”
