I was stationed in Greece on one of their Air Bases in the late 1980's, the Greek power company's union was negotiating their new contract, the Greeks weren't real good at maintaining things, especially anything for the Americans so our command post back up generator didn't work. Well the negotiating tactic the power company workers were using is a few times a day they'd turn the power off and walk out. A command post without power is very very bad and when it happens there is a big list of things you have to do including calling the Sky cops to make sure you're not being attacked and informing HQ USAFE of your status and the sky cops opinion if you were being attacked. Well I was on day shift, about an hour before shift change we decided we were going to have a "power outage" so we turned everything off that could be turned off and unscrewed the indicator bulbs on the stuff we really couldn't turn off (the satellite comm unit). About the time night shift came in the front door we could hear they fell for the bait and started cussing about the power. Well we made it through shift change making oncoming do all the inventories including the safes by flash light. Just as we were about to leave we turned on one of the lights I hear the oncoming officer say "you're dicks", the NCO "This means war" this is also the first time I saw the oncoming NCO, maybe he was having a bad day before he came to work as his shirt was only 1/2 buttoned and the buttons didn't match and his boots were untied and I don't think he had any socks on either. I guess it didn't go wrong and both the oncoming guys were do to rotate out pretty quick so they didn't have much time to get even.
