ALEUTIAN SCUBA DIVER'S
This past weekend, Divers-SERIOUS, HEAD
and McALLISTER made a couple practice
dives off the big jetty looking for a
pair of lost swim-fins. Visibility was
about 25 feet, no currant, and a email
surge, just enought to ride on# It .was
interesting to watch these fellas oper
ating in kelp, you can really wrap your
self up in ycur work here, but these
divers are experienced- enough to take
care of themselves.....Ireidently, the
lost swim fins were found floating just
under the surface by JUDY SPR\GUE and
MICKY who were snorkeling. Others who
were snorkeling in the area wore ELIFOOD,
CHAPLAIN MORRIS' and others..
Last Thursday the first mens class of
pne year was nexa ax xno pool. me two
instructors PETERSON and WICKLAND have
high hopes for tho hard rorking students#
Hope you make it fellas, Good-Luck, You
know, the basic requirements for a Scuba
student is endurance, good lung po^ser
and above all a cool and level head, Also
being free of any chronic or acute sinus
or lung disease....Poor eyesight is : hot
a handicap in diving as corrective lenses
can be afixed to a face mask* ' Being ’
emotionally stable is a prime' requisto
a person tho panics easily is a- danger
not only to himself but also to his" •
diving buddy, this person has no business
using Scuba, as well as the ”Sho\ -off”
who can endanger everyone-in the water
including ^be fish, with cl<vnish and
dangerous antics. Our club is free from
these two typos, Thanks to PETERSON and
HUkFHWS. CASTEEL :UTD r ICKL UD our ins t
rue tors v. ho‘ hove put quite a fev; students
through tlicir paces in the classes et
the pool. These Divers have given auite
freely of their time and diving knowledge
to training and education of Scuba use
and theory# Our Club would be nowhere
without them##«•»•••• »' *

MOFFETT HI-LITES
Well here I am after a prolonged absence
and I should have.a bundle of little tid
bits, but this is that time of year when
everyone is hitting the books "getting
ready for the February advancement in
rating exams, so consequently most every
thing has boon quiet on the Moffett front#
This week our Assistant Officer In’
Charge, M# H. H.DCEL RMCS, makes his exodus
from Adak# CHIEF HAXEL. is bound for duty
aboard the USS STODDARD DD-737 homqported
in Long Coach, California#.#...Chief, from
all of us, Good Luck at your new duty.sta
tion and Well Done for the outstanding
job you have done during your tour on Adak
I noticed at last payday, that there
wore a couple of people missing. They i
must be either leaving their money on.the
books, or else they're afraid of a little
bitty scale#
nurw is u uciiB anucaow I nappenea
to overhear SMITH sayings "My homo address
is ‘Fortieth.and Plum*. Forty miles from
nowhere and plum out in the sticks," •
Which reminds mo of something else from
SMITH. It seems- that' he was asked if he
know where APRS was. Replying yes, ho
was requested to deliver a few articles
there by TINY. This ho proceeded to do.
•Upon his return, ho was asked if he had
been able to deliver the articles. His
answers "Yep, I sure did. I put .them
right beside that little black box in the a
entranceway of the*NavSta- Exchange."«•••* *
I don’t think I could add anything to that.
And hero is. another result of eaves
dropping. KELLEY, "SANFORD, what did you
do to. that lovely onci!." SANFORD, I
broke it."
.We 11 like I said the tidbits have boon
scarce around here lately, almost as
scarce as?TIN-Y,s orders, so this will
have to do this week.
See You 1Round The Rock,
