NAVAL FACILITY NEWS
The Naval Facility Basketball Team rolled on to its eleventh straight victory
this week when they beat the Fire Station 80 to 58*
When Chief WILSON went on leave, Chief BRATCHER assumed the duties of CMAJw
Chief WILSON, a Boatswain’s Mate, had long made his feelings clear on the fact
that he had no GMtuV badge to wear. There was nothing that Senior Chief Store
keeper BR&TCHER -could* do (so he said) to remedy the situation. But strangely
enough Chief BRATCHER had assumed the position of CM/ui no more than 24 hours
and he was sporting a CM44 badge*..and the question at lower nine barracks is,
which is bigger, 5 foot one inch Sebastian MARTINEZ or the badge?
The ’’paper mill" slewed down a bit this week* The unneard of occurred. The
Chief Yeoman, I repeat, the Chief Yeoman dropped his typewriter face down on
the deck. Karl LENGLE, who will soon be striking for Yeoman, sat across the
office, placidly typing away, and never even noticed the window rattling crash.
Lengle learns fast.
This week Mrs. Janet T0NN3SEN arrives on the misty little isle from Dubuque,
Iowa. Ensign Rich TONNSSEN takes leave of all the gay bachelors at the BOQ,
and their devil may care, madcap existence, to settle down to the life of a
married man. The bachelors will miss him and.his morale chart, but they know
only too well that he, like the rest of the ex-BOQ residents, all too soon
forget their old buddies. This isn’t a hint for a home cooked dinner or any
thing......
Joe CUZZORT, 30G2, spent his first evening at one of the Facility Basketball
Games. Poised at the sidelines with his trusty camera, he really impressed the
fans as being a knowlodable locking photographer. He frowned at his camera,
adjusted it, took tentative sightings, studied the composition of what he was .
about to photograph, and altogether seemed tc really knew what he was doing.
But it just wasn’t one of his mghts0 He actually, in the true form of things
one reads about but never actually witnesses, forgot to put film in his camera*
The enginemen aren’t too boisterous, but in barely audible grumblings, this re
porter received news of a nefarious pilferage. It seems that they had a rack in
which they held a large oil drum* Someone in the black of night made off with
this precious article. The next morning the EN’s were oil drum hclderless. The
salt in the wound is that it was spotted jauntily perched next’ to the officer’s
hut. *"
i
Skip SCHAFFER, S0G3N, has an impressively large assortment of articles hanging
from his key chain, among the mere Impressive artifacts'are a can open..a nail
clipper, a knife, and a flashlight0 A small plea might be entered here for some
one to present him with a pad lock so that he could have at least one key for
his key chain0 Of course the possibility exists that he will hang not only the
key but also the pad lock on the chain*
The inevitable occured this week, Jv/c.v since green security type curtains were
hung in one c.f the buildings,, the pr phots have been looking to the day when two
coffee cup carrying sailors would collide head on0 True to form Joe CUZZORT. S0G2
managed to soaK himself with a full cup of coffee. Just as long as he didn*t ^et
the curtains wet,
Ivan, D0G3R, was promoted to D0G3A this week, when it was observed that he had
