Rick, how can you practice"emergency drills" if they are pre planned and
everyone knows about them?
An emergency drill is, by its title, an emergency. Lets not tell each other
that btw I`ll feign ooa when we get back to the shot!!!!
I want to know my buddy is AWAKE, SWITCHED ON,so, no Rick that won`t work
for me,Jack.
