Memories For This Unit

Best Friends
Robert Calow, Gordon Pechion, Gordon Mastain

Best Moment
I worked in the bomb elevator shop for the 9 months when we were in the yard......learned to hate chipping,sanding, and painting. Was happy after that to go to the missile shop.
   

Worst Moment
When loading Bullpup C missiles, the track that the chain fall was hooked to, broke and we dropped the missile. It was scary to say the lest. Then the navy hearing after , but it turned out the track had some bad welding so we found not at fault.

Chain of Command

Chief Riggs
Missile Shop

Other Memories
I worked hard the years I was on the Connie, but they were good years, with good liberty ports in the far east. Learn to hate ammo unreps on Yankee station.
