The histories of 845, 846, 847, and 848 Squadrons created standards that later personnel expect themselves to meet. In this account, extra hours are tied to the operational task rather than performed to impress management. People stop when the work does not require more effort, while a necessary job continues until it is done. Each success gives the next group another example to match. The resulting can-do culture expects the squadron to find a workable route through a difficult task whenever one exists.
