Scenario
Twenty lieutenant colonels from the Pentagon have been tasked to
conduct a study to determine the economic effectiveness of the use of
the STE-M1/FVS simplified test equipment at the intermediate direct
support and unit maintenance levels.
Some or all of them have
announced by TWX their arrival for a fact finding mission to include
a demonstration of the equipment.
Although their communication was
received on post almost two weeks ago, you have been given a bare
three hours to prepare for their visit.
In order to be sure the
lieutenant colonels get it straight, you plan to let them choose from
any of your shop mechanics for the demonstrator, but you will do all
of the talking.
