Grady, This is total bull if it's true or not. When was the last time you heard of an astronaut, or "mission Specialist", being trained on the day of the launch. This is just another excuse for being poorly prepared for the "mission". These guys haven't been prepared from day one, and this is just one more example of Billy boys lack of proper leadership. Proper cross training in ADVANCE would have allowed another diver to take this individuals place on the "mission". Why should an entire dive be called because of one persons misfortune? Are Stones divers so brain washed that they "ALL FEEL THE PAIN"? Sounds like some weird SI-FI flick theme to me. On a similar note. Has anyone asked why, if there are no American divers diving, a local robbery would interfere with dive plans? Could it be that some foreign vagrant has lost his shopping cart? - JT At 10:54 PM 1/3/99 -0600, you wrote: >Dave >Not unusual at all. Divers need proper training before using such >equipment.
