EClark Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I read inthe paper today that Robins would be haveing inspections without warings. It used to be inthe middle of the night the siren would go off and the ORI was on nobody knew when it was going to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C130Hcc Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Usually we knew we were about to go into an ORI when a white C-135 landed and T/A started calling around and telling everyone a bunch of inspectors were on base. When I was at Ramstein, in the mid 70\'s, we knew an ORI was about to begin when a flight of Italian F-101s flew perpendicular to the runway at a very low altitude, about the same time the sirens went off. I think now you get plenty of warning and have a couple practice exercises before they ever show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalbasher Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Its not a Robins thing only...AF-wide. It is an initiative/fall out of the whole nuke mishandling mishaps in the recent past. Either way, it puts a little more integrity into the system as folks are not spending weekends and long shifts to prepare for something. The point is to see what folks are doing on a regular basis...good bad or other...then after the inspection people will know of their shortcomings and fix them accordingly.
