Gotta call them on it or advise the Dept Supervisor. During a Senior Leader Seminar for a combined exercise overseas, somebody kicked a plug out of a wall during a presentation. Shouldn't have been a bid deal since the battery backup just keeps things rolling like it should, if however, the battery wasn't in a similar state as the one you described. Needless to say we were more than a little embarrassed since we looked like fools in front of a bunch of Ministers of the Interior from the Arab world. IT can't expect you to always have shore power installed.Tunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930237104692982421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-32311250636836452432013-08-10T15:57:47.227-07:002013-08-10T15:57:47.227-07:00Sounds like you speak from experience!Sounds like you speak from experience!OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-24012899812913838012013-08-10T15:52:27.337-07:002013-08-10T15:52:27.337-07:00As I open the door, guess what.
