[AT] new duties

[Phil Auten]

Having worked in the defense industry for over 20 years, acronyms became 
a way of life. The fact that a large majority of the folks I worked with 
were ex-military added even more acronyms into the mix. Once while 
working a co-worker and I came across a table showing
how the military designations were assigned to equipment. We had a
lot of fun coming up
with some really screwball designators like "Airborne Pigeon Bombing" 
and a few others.
