Come on in Shipmates. Have a seat in the First Class Lounge. We'll play a little Acey-Deuce and swap sea stories. As always, you have front of the line previleges on the Mess Decks.

    Does anyone know where I might find  a 1st class CS-1 gold chevron patch?  When I was in back in the 60's it was two crossed keys with the quill under them. My old  jumper has come up missing with the only one I had. 

    Thanks, John L. CS-1(SS)

    Took 4 1/2 years to make E-6.  Took the Chief's exam four times after that never scoring under 94.  Of course from 1972-1977 I didn't fit the Bureau's definition of "advance the minority over the majority regardless " o dem tess scos".  Got out after ten years.  WASP didn't stand a chance of advancement during those years of Zumwalt and Rumsfeldt.

    It was a great day when I made 1st.  I was at Instructor training school in Millington, TN.,  Just TAD, but all those other 1st and the Chiefs made it a big thing for me.

    I consider it to be an "EXTREME HONOR" to be in the presence

    of sailors who "paid the price" to Lady America like me.

    I made YN1 in July 1978.

    After 22-years of serving in the "Canoe Club", I retired the medical way in

    December 1986 (at present, because of my service-connected ailments,

    my HMO is the VA medical system in San Diego, CA).

    Take care shipmates,, God Bless you,, and,, "Welcome Home!"
