"Leonard,
I know a lot of disciplinary action has been taken on the officer corps and chiefs, I wonder how much of it is warranted. I am wondering if there has become a need for yes men. I don't think Chuck Hagel was a yes man, I maybe wrong. I'm…"

Does any one remember the YBH? HA! I use to play music there with the Japanese band. I was their singer three nights a week. 1952-1955 I was on the LST 825, 1048 and 1158 Eng division EM rate. I have tons of pictures if I could only find them. Send me a chat mate. Stay well and God Bless. Jon r.
Hi Ron, Read some your exploits in boot camp. Seems no matter where you go there'll always be someone in the crowd who is a prankster. Did you do any "short-sheeting"?
