Eisboch :-)
Hmm.. Fat kid, kinda short and unmilitary, but always willing and able to
solve the problems the division officer's pets created? Das me!
Just follow the longwire with the biggest corona back to Radio 2 by the
67B cal lab, aft under the helo hangar.
Maybe you saw me over in the salvage yard, too! My truck was easy to
spot with those wide "Admiral" white sidewall tires and the "NAVY-A-Go-
Go" modified sticker in the back window, we made by cutting up the boring
"Go NAVY" ones they handed out. I'm the kid sneakin' 25# cans of Navy
coffee into various warehouses to trade with the supply civvies. How big
a diesel was that you needed? If it's bigger'n an 8V92TA, that'll take a
week or two because we gotta make arrangements for the train to haul it
for ya. You need a starting battery bank to go along with that 32V
system or is yours still in good shape.
HMMMMm.....that fan motor sure sounds kinda rough! Lemme see if I can
get the boys in the Shop 51 motor shop in the Shipyard to put our work
order on top of the pile. They sure liked those shipmade pies I brought
'em when we wanted to get that winch motor rebuilt before the cans left
for the Med last month. I'm sure they'll remember us!...(c;
Yeah, that was probably me that LT was bitching at about my dirty hat.
He'll get his when HIS inspection comes up and HE wants a quicky cal job
ahead of the nice guys...(wink)(wink). PFAT CHANCE.
I must admit, I loved it all....(c; Our repair officer warned people not
to mention to me anything they needed that might have been illegal to
procure, for fear it would show up, unexpectedly, on Pier Papa. "We need
a new (put something here)." I'd turn and head down to the galley for
more coffee and pastries to trade for it. The galley guys appreciated
the shiny stainless steel bulkhead covers I got last year! Sooo....easy
to clean with a damp cloth. Very pretty. Even the admiral thought so
when he saw it! I think the requisition for it said something about
submarines and "reactors", whatever that means....?? Those were magic
words that could get things done for tin can sailors, too!
