WATER WALKERS SLOGAN

For those of you who were at Clark AFB in the 70's. There was a "WALANG PAWIS" translated meaning "NO SWEAT" certificate given to some of the Tech Controllers! It read as follows;

BE IT KNOW THAT
----NAME----
Having endured the rigors of Balibago and Angeles, experienced the frustrations of Clark, jousted with PLDT, POTC and JOB CONTROL, while conquering the WETWASH, IJCS-PAC and TRANS PAC, is herby acknowledged and certified as a WALANG PAWIS Tech Controller

Hereafter as a WALANG PAWIS Controller, said individual can, with full authority, discouse on LPAP, RSL, BBL,IPN, ICN, PMP, FCO, DAU, CCO, ICO, SCCO, CSI, CPA, CVO, QC, QA, IST, 55-1, VFCT, WWTCIP, HF, VON, DIN, BTC, DCA, CCQ, DC, AUDIO, CODEX, and other dubious topics relating to his tour in the Philippines, whether real or imaginary.

BE IT ALSO KNOWN THAT said individual, having survived the exigencies of the 61st and said island paradise of Luzon, is hereafter authorized to wear a well-frayed patch cord around his neck as a mark of his expert ability to produce with prolific fortitude, strings of in comprehensible formula calculated with micrometric precision from external vague assumptions which are based on debatable figures and patterns acquired from inconclusive tests and quite incomplete experiments carried out with instruments of problematic accuracy by persons of doubtful reliability and of rather dubious mentality with particular anticipation of disconcerting and annoying mere human technical controllers.

I think this was written in the early 70's by the ops officer Maj or LC (can't remember his name). If anyone out there can, please leave a message in the guestbook or e-mail TSCA. Thanks...Don (I am the proud owner of a WALANG PAWIS)
