"RUMORS JUST AROUND THE CORNERS"
(by "charlee" v. 9. garcia, 3ml, u.s.n.)
**************************************
Good morning, good afternoon, or goodj
evening, whatever the case may be!
Once again—by the way, this is your
host, Charlee—we are welcoming you to j
our second week feature of the "rumors j
just around the corners." - Relax, sit
back, and enjoy yourself.' This column j
might be able to help solve your pro- j
blems and cool you off; such as, missed I
a letter from your folks or from your j
love "ones", income and property taxes,;
or even missed your evening chow because
the MAA asked you "Where is your dung
aree pass?"
An American of Chinese descent entered
a recruiting ‘office to "join the Navy
and see the wonderful world.” Sitting
quietly and gentlemanly, suddenly,
stood up in a mi?, ft ary-like way the
moment the recruiter asked courteously:
"What is your name, please?"
"Hoo Mee?" remarked the would-be sai
lor.
"Yes, you.'" snapped the recruiter.
"Hoo MeeJ" answered back disgustedly.
"Whatsa ’mara for yaw, naw spocky
Engrrrrrrrrrish?" becoming impatient,
"You 3&*-'n right, I speak English
well.’: And my name is H-o-o for Koo
and M-e-e for Mee.’" and walked out and
left the quizzical recruiter, scratch
ing his head. j

R-r-r-r-r-ring, thrice, "Central

Office, San Bruno, California, yeoman !

"Holy, Michael Andy, I thought you
were my psychotherapist I was talking j
to.* Sorry, I called the wrong number.’"!
answered the party. •

Not long ago, a new revised NavSta j
Adak Instruction 5510,5C spells out I
in black-and-white that all station
personnel desiring to visit quarters
will complete enclosure one or two, as
appropriate, of said'Instruction, and
log in-and-out with their respective
MAA. Logging may be accomplished by
telephone, Bering - 281/283 or Birch
wood - 122. Where request cannot be
accomplished prior to the anticipated
visit, a phone call by the host to the
Security Officer, 369, will be made on
weekdays only. This does hot preclude
the routing of said requests. Ordinar
ily, evening visits to the housing
area will be terminated prior to 0130.
If a host desires an extension, how
ever, he may do so by calling either
the NavSta 00D, 200, or the Activity
Duty Officer/Petty Officer who orgin
ally authorized the request. This
restriction applies to all single and
married personnel whooe dependents not
in the Island, military and civilian.
A personnel manager was interviewing
the applicant for a job.
"Row long did you work on your last
job?”
"Fifty-five years."
"How old are. you?"
"How could you work on a job 55 years
and only be 45 years old?"
"Overtime.*"
Did you know that if you are a "suc
cessful man" earning an annual income
of $400,009, the internal revenue qgent
will be after you to collect $353,000
for income tax plus 91% over the earned
amount? So if you are planning of
becoming a successful man in one of
these days, you may just as well ship
over for another term plus all the
privileges the Navy give,
Confucius sez: "If you don’t suc
ceed, try and try ur.til you got all
confused.*" You know pretty well you
don’t have the know-how fixing that
electrical connections.* Why all the
troubles when you can just simply call
the trouble desk for trouble shooters.
Let’s forget what Confucius sezedj
