Memories For This Unit

Best Friends
Corporal George Washington, "Pee Hole Weasel"; L/cpl, T.R. Ward; L/cpl Stokes, Sgt. Murphy, Sgt. Dudon, Corporal Fowler

Best Moment
St Patrick's Day, 1967, Da Nang, Navy POL Club. We lost out money in the slot machines & tried to take the slots back to 1st Motors. (Hill 31)(POL petroleum, same-same).
   

Worst Moment
Asking Sgt. Murphy to return the three 45'S we took from the sailors on our way out of the club. We were all very drunk at the time.

Chain of Command
Corporal Washington, Sgt. Murphy, SSgt. Wescott, Gunny Palmer.
   

Other Memories
Sgt. Murphy kept us out of trouble.
