Out Beer on the Beach by Huey |
|
I joined the USS Norfolk while they were in
the med and our first stop was in Souda Bay crete. Me and another mess attendant
had to stay on the boat until 9 pm and ran topside to see some of the
crewmembers return saying that everything was closed down, and we decided to
walk along the beach for a while and then go back. We walked about a mile and a
half and noticed a cabana with the lights on and walked up to it to find the
hardest qual-sig A-ganger sitting at a bar. He said, "Well I think I am
gonna like you guy's, you can sniff out beer when everyone else goes home"
He bought us a round and we became pretty good friends, but later when it came
to quals he lived up to his reputation and made us go and label every valve in
trim and drain.
I still miss that. Huey |
