A description of the equivalent of the 24-hour mission follows... if you consider that a spoiler, dont' read.








From what I hear, instead on having a 24-hour mission, they were "on call" at all times, and that the air raid siren could go on at any time, and then they'd have to be ready to get in and fly a mission.
The less time spent in Orion Bay, the better.

That would be fun such that they actually had some of those missions in the middle of the night. Could you hear the air raid siren from the Space Camp campus? I bet it got confusing last week between the 'mission' siren and the 'tornado' siren they had in the middle of the night. :D

I wish more people from AC knew about this website!

They do. All of the trainees for the M3+ program were encouraged to keep all classified material to themselves. We do not want to give away to much, but sufice to say the 24 Hour mission for AC is UNREAL. The scrambles are all night with only about 3 hours of sleep for the whole night. Good luck to those of you who are signed up for the 4th of July session. It should be a Big Bang for you.
