Corned beef hash - A provisioning question
Thanks, Bill! Nice to meet another AD sailor. If you're ever in
Charleston, go aboard the USS Yorktown (CV-10) at Patriots Point Naval Museum and post yourself on the shipmates board and look through the log books. I've reunited with many of the guys I sailed with back in the 60's that way. Living in Charleston, many have called me from the post over there and we have a great old time reliving our tours on "Big Mama"......(c; I was an ET-1598 cal tech and keeper of the keys to the TBKs, TBMs, TCSs and TBLs in Radio II under the after king post, an experience I wouldn't trade for anything in the world. I was also the duty thief, and have stolen and misappropriated many items or traded shipyard service for tons of coffee with the sandcrabs before I became one. My repair officer would be careful about what he wished for...(c; "We sure could use a new pickup truck.", he said one day. Took me 3 days to find him a new Dodge 3/4 ton truck....and another week to get the white sidewall tires for it...(c; Ship had a troublesome URC-32 the RMs had destroyed. Cost me 75 pounds of prime coffee for that one. I showed up in the new truck with it all crated up in the back, saying to my suspicious EMO, "Mr Seegar, we'd better get that new transmitter aboard real soon. It looks like it's gonna rain!" "Where'd you get that?", he enquired within earshot of LCDR Hayder. "Stop asking embarrassing questions, Myron.", the LCDR replied.....as I made my hasty retreat. Geez....Do they have to know EVERYTHING? Larry ET1 "No, Sir, that's not a GM 6-53 diesel engine. That's a GM 6-71 diesel engine, Sir."..........."Thank you, Sir."......

My first ship was the USS Arcadia (AD-23) out of Newport RI. From there I went to the USS Talbot (DEG-4) again at Newport after we got it commissioned in Boston. I was a ETN2 at my discharge, 4 years (1965-1969). -- "I hate the itching. But I don't mind the swelling." -- new buzz phrase, like "Where's the Beef?" that David Letterman's trying to get everyone to start saying Larry Extremely intelligent life must exist in the universe. You can tell because they never tried to contact us. |
