There was 20 of us from 2 squadrons. The briefings we got before we left were dead serious stuff, and were were advised that we were guests and it was supposed to be a big deal to be invited to go there. We flew from Miramar to Edwards on a military shuttle. Stayed in the barracks and ate in the mess hall the whole time. We couldnt go outside the barracks after 8pm, and had to smoke in this tiny covered courtyard. Had to call home from pay phones that we were told were being monitored. This was "no joke radio" stuff. We couldn't wait to get the fuck off that base and get back to Miramar. We were allowed to talk about it once we got back because there wasn't anything to talk about. We flew sorties(no idea what they did in the air), then fixed and prepped the planes for the next day...just like a regular day in naval aviation.
