I/'/ho is the Personnel Officer working in Mil Per s who thinks he s a mala mute / we
hear he was a little worried at the Chiefs Club the other night when a couple of
ladies were talking about tthose scary blue eyes", Speaking of funny things, ask
Lorraine Miller why she didn't "R 0 T F" at the social the other night* We under
stand TORRES, RM3 and a couple of buddies completed a trip to the summitt of Mount
Moffett last weekend and planted a flag* Nice going men*
We hear the boys in MilPers are hoping that Chief Funcheon gets his orders real
soon so he won't be opening all their mail.
Is it really true that the reason Jim Beard got the exact orders he had said he
would for the past six months to NAAS Kingsville, Texas is because he has "PI"?
Congratulations to the newly installed Officers of the Fleet Reserve Associat
ion, Branch #169. We hear they have been hard at work for the past 3 weeks clean
ing up the area around the home (including around the teen agers club). Best of
lu£k to President Rivers and his shipmates. BINGO this Saturday at the FRA with
a big heaping jackpot bound to go this time. Someone Bingoed last week one number
after the last one for the big prize to end up with the consolation prize so the
big jackpot is still waiting. Well, guess that'll hold us til next week. Keep
those phone calls coming to Kay at 451 and Vicki at 194-J* KAY & VICKI_
