A WORD OF CAUTION
Here-we would -like to devote a
brief reminder for. newly i-joined per
sonnel at Adak relative to the brief
spells of nicer weather we are exper
iencing* Instances have been noted
in the past week - and a half of some
people going mountain climbing and
being improperly equipped as well as
attired* The weather on adak can
change so- rapidly that, should you
be caught outside some distance from
proper shelter, serious consequences
can result. There are records to
verify this fact.
If you do go climbing or hiking,
first ensure that others know the
location you * are going to and be
positive that the clothes you wear
are warm and sufficient.
