Best Moment DOING A 3"50 SURFACE SHOOT AT A 55 GAL. DRUM PAINTED YELLOW. COULD NOT HIT IT SO AT THE END OF SHOOT THE SKIPPER ORDERED IT SUNK. USED A THOMPSON .45 AT CLOSE RANGE TO SINK IT.
Worst Moment THE ASS CHEWING WE GOT FROM GM1 SAM LEVINE FOR CUTTING THE LOCK ON THE ARMORY TO GET THE THOMPSON. SAM HAD THE ARMORY KEYS AND WAS AT HIS GQ. STATION ON THE BRIDGE WITH THE SKIPPER.
