FROM THE GHOST Of
THE WILIIWAW'S
The July issue of Outdoor Life has
an article on page 44 that might be of
interest to the sportsmen of Adak on
the Caribou.
Author Jack 0* Connor states: "A
creature of glacier and tundra, he’ithe
world*s handsomest big-game animal-and
he can be one of the most rattle-brain
ed." It has an accompanying illust
ration by Douglas Allen that is very
striking in resemblance to terrain on
Adak.
Do you or your children think that
some bus drivers are "mean" when they
ask them to be quiet and keep the noise
to a minimum? Remember that shouting
boisterous conduct and "horseplay" all
detract a driver from his primary res
ponsibility of driving the bus. Every
day you read about tragic accidents in
the states, many of them attributed to
incidents like the aforementioned. Lots
all cooperate with our drivers.
Remember HOSFORD, SF1, the newly
reported aboard "Plumber & Blacksmith"
of the station. Well, seems he ran into
a little trouble at Lower 9 1st Class
Barracks. He was holding reveille each
morning with a loud, very authentic
duck call. This went on for a week or
so until one morning YTURRALDE, PN1 of
MilPers got up and said loud enough for
everyone to hears "Payday Ifm going to
the Navy Exchange and get me a shot-gun
and shoot that duck." No more duck call
reveille in Lower 9.
Good news for Adakians who will be
involved in moving household effects
across the states after December 1st.
The Department of Defense will soon be
putting out a directive which will give
families the chance to choose their own
mover. Military personnel will also
have the chance to veto use of a mover
who has given him bad service dn the
past. Although you have no choice of
your move from Adak (Service here is
excellent anyway) it is good news and
you may have use of the information
contained in the directive which will be
summarized when it is received and pub
lished in the Adak Sun,
Anyone having a recipe for Tundra
Soup please write the Ghost of the
Williwaw’s c/o the Adak Sun*
Keep Smilin*

MESSAGE 221434Z of July I960;
"Customs violations involving
attempted importation of undeclared
dutiable articles - particularly al
coholic beverages - have resulted in
severe penalties against the individ
uals involved, including • possible
criminal action in civil courts. These
offenses not only detract from the
integirty of the naval service bcufl
jeopardize the privileges presentl*
enjoyed.
All Commanders are enjoined to
cooperate fully with customs officials
and to insure strict compliance with
Article 0764 Navy Regulations and Gen
eral Order # 15 concerning possession
and transportation of alcoholic bever
ages.
inis requires continuing command
vigilance and prompt, appropriate and
effective disciplinary action."
ALNAV 2-60 enjoined all Commanders
to insure that personnel of their
commands comply with customs regul
ations. Nevertheless, reports have be^^
received of continuing violations in^^
volving importation of undeclared
dutiable articles-particularly alcohol
beverages.
It is apparent all personnel do
not realize the damage done to the
integrity of the Naval Service as well
as the personal consequences of customs
violations.
18 United States Code 545 makes
smuggling a crime punishable by$l0,000
fine and five years imprisonment.
Offendors are subject to trial by
Court-martial or in Federal Court as
appropriate. In addition to the punish
ment imposed by the court, conviction
will result, under the Hiss ^ct, 5USC
2282, in forfeiture of eligibility to
receive any retired p3y.AH Commanders
are directed to insure that all pers
onnel in their commands fully understand
the import of this warning.
