1985-88	423X5	While Gene Garzone was serving on Air Staff, in late 1984 he received a message from TAC.  The writer mentioned Flight line Support Equipment (FLSE), that was a time when nobody really knew what to call AGE and we answered to several different names.  Gene went to the policy branch of aircraft maintenance, and within a few weeks, the name AGE was reborn. 1985 is the year the Aerospace Ground Equipment Mechanic officially returned.
