Memories For This Unit

Best Friends
Petty Officer First Class Cohen. A comedian from the Bronx.

Best Moment
Packing my Sea Bag and departing.

   

Worst Moment
Recovery Room

Chain of Command
Unknown to me at the time. I was a patient.

   

Other Memories
Outstanding Physicians and Nurses. Petty Officer 1st Class Cohen, from Brooklyn. He was a patient, and met everyone with his unmistakable New York accent greeting. "Hi, I am Quinn" (Irish). Then spelled out Quinn...C-O-H-E-N. What a character.
