What the CommCenter List is:

A discussion group for fixed-station, tactical, mobile
and shipboard record message military communications
centers (CommCenters) involving teletype, torn tape
relay, AUTODIN, and DMS facilities, and any military
record messaging services relevant to the military
since 1940 and later.

This may include any type of military record message
network, such as Common User GENSER, SPINTCOMM DSSCS,
sole/dedicated users and networks, or any special backchannel
military networks, including Radio Teletype Nets, Fleet Broadcast
or General Broadcast systems that might have handled
record message (printed) traffic in any military message
network or format.

This group seeks members who have held US Army MOSs
72B, 72E, 72F, 72G, 05C, 31J, 31N, 32N, 32D and any other
MOSs that worked in CommCenters. It also seeks US Navy
and USAF equivalent job specialties and like interests.

Our purpose is to discuss technical issues, share
information, history and personal experiencies and to build
up a set of working "virtual" CommCenter emulators via Internet
Teletype, and simulated Mode V AUTODIN and the
CommCenter list itself for the purpose of passing
military formatted message traffic IAW ACP-126, ACP-127
and JANAP-128 and any STANAGs for both fun, and to
communicate, and simulate actual CommCenter operations
and message traffic for the purpose of keeping skills
and memories alive.

In that vein, your suggestions, opinions and comments are
always welcome and encouraged. Enjoy the list!
