Oh, don't forget to include on of my favorites - "Hey, [insert shirt

It's actually called the 1-MC (Pronounced: One Em Sea) as opposed to the
5-MC which is the public address system for the flight deck only.

You would do better if....you learn it's the 1-MC, not MC1, and that naval
personnel are sailors, not soldiers.

Thank you for your help, I'm sure that the reson no one helps is because I may
have called someone a soldier rather then a sailor and that I got the numbers
and letters backwards. Now if I could get some SAILORS to really HELP with the
1-MC and 5-MC calls it sure would be great.
