Fw: Re: [GreenKeys] Q and Z Signals

[jparker@onemain.com]

Hello All,

I found out last night if you back up the URL that I sent, to where the last thing is acps, i.e.

http://www.dtic.mil/jcs/j6/cceb/acps


You will get a list of all of the unclas ACPs in *.pdf format.  i.e. Teletype Procedures, Radio Telephone Procedures, Ships Callsings, etc.

Ahhhhhh, just like the good ole days!!!!


Tks,

John
