This past x\reek the Moffett sailors had
the oppurtunity to get a little sea duty,
on a voyage to Sitken Island, aboard the
USS (MACHOMO (YTB-ij.01) one of the Naval
Station tugs. Our group was split up,
with one group going one day and the other
goign another day. For some of us who
have never been aboard a Naval vessel, it
was a novel and interesting experience;
and for those of us who have,: it was a
welcome break in our tours on Adak....
The trip out to Sitken took approximately
two hours. Upon arrival those among us
who have the spirit of the pioneer com
menced some exploring. It seemed to the
others that didn't, that the exploring
was more a matter of rolling down a few
good sized hills than anything else. The
explorers insist that they have invented
a new sport; that is skiing without any
skis or even any snow or water...Well at
least they ran up their laundry bills....
We want to thank the crew of the OWACHOMO
and all the other prople who made this
outing possible. Our only regret is that
we are unable to make the trip more often.
..•••As we mentioned before, for some the
tug trip was the first sea duty they had
ever had. We noticed on the return trip
when the tug started to roll about two
degrees that a few of them were starting
to show a slightly green pallor. Among
then ALLISON, PETRYKOWSKI, SMITH and'
FOSHAY. Naturally they arrtibuted this
to the fact that the flu has been going
around and that they must have had a
touch of it......We've come to the con
clusion that the best cure for the flu
must be standing on a pier.....Recently
a few of us went fishing....What a catch.
At first we had trouble identifying it.
It was a big one, in a way sort of re
minding one of a pickle. After.consul
ting with Chief HAXEL, a noted authority
on the subject, we finally decided that
it was of the Wisconsin species and the
ROSENFELDT family..That’^ »11 this
week.

Special Services is from the profits of
the Navy Exchange. This figure averages

a small income averaging $550.00 per
month from the hollowing alleys.
In specific cases, where a station
plans a large project which would leave
them extremely short of money, the
Command Recreation Fund will grant a
certain amount to assist that station.
If the Command (1?ND for NAVSTA ADAK) it
unable to assist, then monetary aid is
asked for from the Central Recreation
Fund (Washington, D.C.). If the fund
for the project is justified the Cen
