OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT.
OOO0O
MORE OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT_
Before I sign this off, a thought just
Well, here we are again with another tale
or two from the outstanding Operations
department....
Since the first subject is usually one
of great importance, I shall start off
with a little request from our newly ar
rived Chief Moore. As you may have no
ticed, the teens on our island have try
ing to win acclaim by writing various
articles for the SUN.(Now that someone
has a-request to this group, their art
icles don’t appear) Anyway, Chief Moore
would likS to have one of the island’s
outstanding teen-age girls write a let
ter to his daughter and clue her in on
the events of our local teens. For her
address, you will have to call the CPO
at CO M'STA 52 or 40....(thus leaving
you fellas out of the question) ChidfMM
Moore’s daughter is trying to decide
when she wants to come up to our out
standing island. If any of you girls
would do this favor for the chief, it
will be greatly appreciated.
By the way, Chief Moore is doing his No.
2 tour on the island. He was here from
January '56 to July '58, and his passion
for this place has caused him to return.
I understand that Chiefs PLATTE and
LANCASTER are doing second tours here
also. If I'm wrong, I'll no doubt here
about it. ,
I wrote an article last week that needs
a bit of clarification, so I shall at
tempt to imake last week's article clear.
It seems that MRS. EATON is wondering
just what Chief EATON was doing those
afternoons off that he decided not to
take.off anymore....(are you confused?
read last Peek's column) I just want
to clarify to Mrs. Eaton that the Chief
was on his best behavior while on his
sojurns in the afternoon. To be truth
ful, -I don't know of any afternoons off
that he has taken...(now I'm confused)
COX, L.A., RM.3, is finally smiling.
We have him believing that he leaves
this coming Saturday...(What he doesn't
know wont hurt him!) All kidding aside,
we're glad to see him leave...Now, that
didn't sound right, did it?
hit me that might be kind of interesting
I wonder what person attached to COhJM
STA has the most number of years service
on the island. (Not consecutive, but
total number of years on Adak) Seems he
should have some kind of recognition...
(A . straight-jacket, perhaps?)
See you next week...
"TILL-DEN"
MOFFETT HIGHLIGHTS *******
One of the new men here was riding toward
NAVSTA with one of our "old-timers" when
he pointed to the right and asked,"whats
that up there?" The answer was "Blue
Grass". The new man replied"no, I mean
the buildings". Is this so, HELLBUSCH?
Welcome aboard to VAHVORST, M.D., ET1 ,
received from Moffett Field, Calif. How
about that...from Moffett to Moffett.
VAN was previously stationed at NAVRAD
STA (T), Annapolis. We are very happy
that he has joined us.
Big Bad JOHN has finally received his
long awaited orders. He must have a
lucky charm, because the orders read
PACRESFLT, San Diego. How lucky can you
get, John9 Your old buddy BRYSON is al
so stationed there. JOHN is a popular
cat these days. He has friends request
ing songs for him on the loc al disc joc
key program..one song in particular"BIG
MAN”. Navy Times even had a cartoon
called "Big John". He must have friends
with the paper.
MCQUIRE got the surprise of his life the
other day. He was driving merrily along
when he spotted a wheel passing him. Of
course, he tfSiuokldd but little did be
realize that it was his own wheel. Any
way, he now is checked out on a tri
cycle. No damage,...just experience.
ANDY and FRENCHY aren’t talking too much
about shuffleboard these days. Heard
through the pipeline that NAVSTA trounced
them pretty hard, and took them nine
games in a row. Till next week...
