If the calibrations were on a schedule, shouldn't Sked have handled that? I was in the Navy as well. I've made countless databases, batch files, and VBScript just to automate and streamline tasking that the Navy refused to let you use non-gov tools like web apps and whatnot. I even created a fully finctioning VTC scheduling web application running on IIS and using classic ASP with a bootstrap/jQuery front-end for one of the bigger numbered fleets. This was in 2016. When they are all you reallly have, you can do wonders with the MS Office suite.

You’ll understand when I say this: our lab was part of AIMD, so we were governed by NAVAIR instructions. Sked was for shipboard maintenance, but we technically weren’t performing “shipboard” maintenance so we didn’t use it.
