As the days continue to blend into each
other we find ourselves still underway. The question in everyone's
mind is when liberty will be granted and where. It is so bad
that a certain sailor that frequents the Signal Bridge almost
daily is beginning to see things. The converastion went something
like this, "Captain, I have a contact off the port side,
believed to be a PG.", the Captain nods his approval, "Captain,
this thing has a car on it's fantale!!" "No wait a
minute, it is a helicopter!!!" Not believing this guy he
strolls over and takes a look. After careful study he walks
away shaking his head. Another bystander, the Doc (another permanent
fixture on the bridge lately) is watching with interest. "Hey
Doc," shouts the CO, "Take this guy down below and
check him out." Sound impossible or unreal, believe me
it happened today.
It has come to our attention that the Chief finally had his day
the other day and pulled that fish in. It caught him a "fin"
(no pun intended) to EN3 MALLONEE but "Dad" thought
it was worth it. About time Chief!
If IC3 CANTWELL continues to "blow it" like the other
night when he showed the Party on the fantail a
|
crash course in Motion Picture School will be offered. This guy
just couldn't get it all together and kept putting the wrong reels
on. That's o.k. Dave we all have our days.
Still no word on the mail situation. It looks like this issue
is almost a dead subject.
All the Chiefs are "sweating" the E8/9 advancement
results. Seems the word is out but due to minimize and lack of
mail it might be sometime before word is received on the Mac.
Lot's of luck to them all.
A Shellback list appeared on the ship's bulletin board with the
names of the trusty shellbacks. It's amazing how many certificates
showed up the very same day for people not listed. If you are
a shellback and your name is not on the list drop by the ship's
office for verification.
Official word has not been put out about the crossing of the
"line" and won't be until later, but the Ship's Office
wants to be ready just in case. "MAC FLAP" says, "behold
all you slimy pollywogs" if we do cross...
