Comments: Great bunch of fellas, in retrospect. I wasn't much of a very good sailor overall - just couldn't seem to get back to the ship on time, and had a problem with authority! But, I was looked upon onboard as one He-- of a macrame maker and in DesRon 22 as one heck of a Signalman. Can't remember if I made SM3 on the Willy-Boat or after transferring to the Beatty or Murray. Long time ago - Nice to see names here!
