91. Howdy fellow DS....

Was it the UYK-20 programmable emulator module? I just passed that one, myself.

For the final test, a couple of us got a metal wash pail and filled it with water and a pound of dry ice just before the instructor came in.

The DS "C" school NTDS class was the brain-buster course for me; not only was it a midnight shift class, but I only had six months to learn all the CIC equipment and interfaces, which meant I had to not only understand the computer side, but I also be a gunner/RADAR/RF engineer to be able to prove to the other workcenters when it was their problem and not mine they kept dropping the track or couldn't communicate with the various sensors or if they couldn't get comms to the CO.
I knew basic Geometry, but had to take a crash course in Trig and Calculus to get through.

I still have my old A school tech manuals in storage. Worked on a UNIVAC 1218/1219 (magnetic core memory) as late as 1991.
