Ralph MAY, SKI, of NAVCOMMSTA supply, is
so sure that he will get orders to leave
three months ahead of his normal rota
tion date.that he has made a bet with a
certain chief. (One fifth of his favori1
beverage) This should go down in hist
ory as the world's most foolish bet be
cause the chief says that even if MAY
wins, he is only going to-get to drink
HALE of the prize!
Heard that a certain Chief Yeoman went
down and started a thirty dollar per
month bond allotment in anticipation of
P-1 pay. ( -Now that's the kind of confi
dence I like to see.)
Also heard that someone has been going
around telling the new prospective CPO's
that it doesn't REALLY cost them their
whole $300.00 for the initiation.
This is just too cruel...build up their
hopes like that and then let them find
out the bitter truth later.
AGCT ( I work anywhere) was overheard
saying that he could beat MAY at bowl
ling anytime if he just really tried...
The above items may be true, rumor, or
outright lies, but they are.,..,
THINGS I'VE HEARD
P.S. I've also heard that the guy who
wrrites this column will print just about
anything, so if you have some hot dope,
give him a call in the supply office.

times I wonder about our cook. Under
stand he has taken up' carpentry on his
off time, borne of the remarks I’ve heard
regarding his nimbleiiess in handling
large objects just can’t be true.
GAMACHE picked up another nick-name last
week. His latest alias is "LEaDFOOT" .
He manages to pick up a new name abo ut
once, a month. I wonder what the next on
one will be.
A note from Mr. Massey prior to his de
parture, to all hands:
It has been a pleasure having had the
opportunity to visit U.b. NAVKADbTA (T)
Mt. Moffett, Adak, Alaska. Outstanding
cooperation has been extended to me by
all personnel at this command. I will
be looking forward to my return..

That’s all for this week...
