******MOFFETT HIGHLIGHT
Hell^ there. I an back again after rest
ing for a week. There was no column
last week due to the lack of news. The
actual reason was, - I found out the CD’s
cut my "pipelines" while preparing for
their CB Ball. Thqt just might be the
reason Anderson didn't make it to the
celebration.
I recently noted that URESTE, R.R. SA
at NAVCOMMSTA took honors in the Push
up contest held there on the 19th,20th
and 21st of February. We have a man
here at Moffett that can out-do this guy
and is probably rated as one of the top
pusher-uppers. His name is GAMACHE,
fiMSN, and upon completion of his quart
erly PT test, ended up with a total of
70 push-ups. How about that? Those 70
push ups were accomplished immediately
after doing lo pull-ups.
I want to take time here to welcome a
new man to Mt. Moffett, A hearty wel
come to LYONS, R.L. ETNSN, received
from Great Lakes, 111,, for a normal
tour of duty on Adak, He sure is need
ed and we certainly hope his stay here
will be a pleasant one.
Someone informed me that FRENCHY, the
"ace" shuffleboard player, was skunked
the other night at CQMMSTA. I also
heard all kinds of excuses, such as...
LYONS, his partner, was dragging his
^ucks.
The guy that invented the "twist" did
n’t have such a new idea.. Big Bad
JOHN was practicing his broad-jump and
it was a sight to behold. When'JOHN
takes his jump, it reminds me of a
dance i once observed years ago, call
ed the "Jelly-Roll Jump".
Chie f MULSHINE has a song that he keeps
singing..."Cotton Fields". Don’t hes
itate to request this for him on the
local Disc Jockey program.
A belated "happy birthday" to the Boss’
wife from the crew.. Understand she’s
21 now.
Seems there are a couple of young-uns
trying to teach the Chief and 1st class
petty officers the art of pinochle. Ob
viously they are having a run of luck,
because the way I see it, having high
meld is not considered skill. Only time
will tell, boys..Us oldies have a lot of
patience.....See you next week.

A CHINESE FIRE DRILL
The departure of the late NAVCOMMSTA Pub
lic Works Officer, LUG BARKER, reminded
one of the proverbial Chinese fire drill.
After losing the keys to the car he was
driving, his orders and his patience, he
finally made it to the Reeve terminal.
After saying goodbye to his friends and
all the local lovelies, .he discovered,
to his dismay, that he no longer possess
ed his TR. After many hectic moments,
everything was squared' away and a happy
Mr. BARKER was on his way.
