3 days, repairing equipment that repairs aircraft equipment, since
the Navy had 23 planes down for this particular piece of equipment.
And then repaired 12 pieces of aircraft avionics to get the plane
ready to leave on deployment.

Got a Bravo Zulu out of it from the Navy. Why was I there? Well,
the Navy had the four benches down for two weeks, and a third week
where experts from Grumman and Autonetics were brought in for a week.
Hadn't made any progress, showed up on Friday, and got everything
fixed over the weekend, and let the sailors take over the rest of
the repairs on the aircraft equipment on Monday. Oh, and I got
Monday off. Boy, I'll tell you, those civilians were pretty pissed
at me, after their team had wasted a week and hadn't gotten anywhere.
