Where I received training in subjects such as Air Navigation, Radio Frequency and Electromagnetic Propagation Theory, Political Theory, International Relations, Codes and Ciphers. This training took place before the advent of the personal computer and accusable computer equipment so calculations were done on a dead reckoning computer, slide rule, with a legal pad and a stubby pencil.
