Strike one for the missile load crew.

Is there any story to what happened with these gents after the cause was discovered?

We never heard anything but, no doubt there was some serious retraining and supervision the next time they put one together and loaded it.

That really was great!

Were you assigned to wash two Philippinos' underwear though?

I thought you said you were in the Air Force?

Those people were promoted.  They recently retired as bird colonels in charge of munitions.

They were miles off shore in the ocean.  Surely, they washed their own skivvies. If, they had any on.

Hooter and I didn't care who got in trouble, as long as it wasn't us.  And yes, they more than likely got promoted to a higher level where they couldn’t screw that up again.  Something else, yes.  But, not that.

of their toys gets broken.

Indeed.  In this case, it was a simple lack of attention to detail.
