Deterline Associates instructional designer. First real job. I combined my tech background with Deterline’s criterion-referenced instruction to create a new generation of instruction for Army and Navy radar technicians. The job aids really had their inspiration in the Heathkit and Howard Sams Photofax series which I loved and which trained me as a technician. I used to get schematic packs for everyting we owned, and for a lot we didn’t, in expectation of copying the circuitry.
Before writing each unit had a LCAR for a KDA; which all seemed terribly logical and important at the time. Mike was actually hired before me; we got along great. It’s amazing any of these docs have persisted. These seem like OCR-scanned drafts.
There was a group of jocks that made a big deal about changing into shorts and playing basketball at lunch time. On returning, Mike and I found them. We played us two against those three. I knew that Mike had played East-Coast brown ball. Without saying a word, we looked liked the globetrotters; around-the-back passes, fakes. The hippies effortlessly blew away the jocks for two or three games. It was great.
