As it will be home it will be there.
I am an ex radio operator and instructor (05B) from the Army with 6 years service 66-72.
After passing 15 GPM (encrypted groups random 5 letter mixed) for training both sending and receiving we did not use CW much other than for training purposes.
They had us drill with it once in awhile.
For the most part until I got sent to be an instructor I was saddled doing 05C work (radio teletype~how do you spell boring?)
I instructed CW for a short time and then they discovered I liked teaching the radios and I taught them back when you had to tune them.
I also taught map reading, emergency antenna construction procedures and safety as part of my block of instruction.
It was amazing what you could make an antenna from.
