[GreenKeys] Looking For MITES with keyboards

[Don Robert House]

USAF should have given you a medal.  None of us Navy techs could do  
anything with them.
Of course we were not trained on them either.  I used our MITE to  
write letters to Mom and Dad.

As an AF teletype jock I had to go out to the flight line at Kadena AB  
Okinawa to work on a MITE that was on board a Navy C-130 electronic  
surveillance plane. I had never worked on one before (nor trained) but  
was the only TTY jock on Okinawa with a security clearance high enough  
to go on the plane.  Turned out to be a simple repair and I was able  
to get them communicating with it in short order.  Their operator knew  
how to send and receive messages but admitted he was lost trying to  
figure out what was wrong with it.
