Memories For This Unit

Best Moment
PCS orders to USS Hull DD-945 @ San Diego

Worst Moment
Reporting onboard to learn that I was the new LPO!  Huh?  I just came from a bird farm, 112 RM's, Speed Key operator for 3 years...  KWR-37's, what's that? 
   

Chain of Command
CO  CDR  W.H. Wettlaufer

Other Memories
Station Ship Hong Kong - Extended to 60 days! Owed my soul to the division 'slush fund.'  China Fleet Club!  Mary's Girls!  Star Ferry!  Tiger Balm Gardens! 

RMSN - Donnie L. Sarvis - I found Donnies Obit back in 2012, or so.  His headstone reflected RMCS!  RIP Donnie, I am proud of you!
