The Goat Locker CPO Deck Log Jan-Mar 2008
CPO email addresses are available by clicking on the CPO's name. I also have a separate listing of just CPO email addresses available. Please note that all email addresses worked when placed on this page. Overtime some may not work due to Chiefs changing their Internet providers. You can save the file and use your browser to view it off line or you can view it with any word processor. Use your browsers "find" or "search" command and search for shipmates by rate, name or command. To even further keep entries secure from SPAM I have added a "2" after every @ symbol in each email address. So if you go to email someone remove the "2" from the address.

Comments: It's been a while since I signed the log. With 6 Cans, I am a proud member of Tin Can Sailors. The reefer found its way in between the Cans after I had shipped over and before RD "B" school. That was a different assignment. My CIC was in the Chart House. I was first class and had one RD3 and my primary duty was postal clerk. On the Cans I went through the ranks from SA to RDCS. Since those days and after a full retirement, my major efforts have been that of an author. I have 3 books published: Detachment X-Ray; Covert Avengers, and Black Ops. The books can be seen just about anywhere you can find books on the inter-net,including the Goat Locker. OH yeah, I can't forget my first published short story; Sylvester Bliss and His West Texas Ranch.

Comments: I joined the Navy as a 'kiddie cruiser' in September 1964.
After FC (FT) school at Great Lakes I reported to the EVERSOLE in Long Beach, CA. Did three deployments to Vietnam firing on average 55,000 rounds a deployment. Will forever be a 'destroyer sailor'. The NORTON SOUND was a weapons test ship where I worked on the then new MK 86 GFCS and the new 5"54 automatic gun mount.
Got out in September of 1971 (wife said three deployments in four years was enough). After 14 months I became a TEMAC recruiter out of Milwaukee, WI.After two years of recruiting I went back regular USN in December of 1974 and transferred to the sub tenders in Rota, Spain. The most enjoyable tour of dutymy family and I had! Converting to NC in 1977 we went back toCalifornia at Port Hueneme and the Sound. CNATRA brought a total different life. With with an E8 and a E9 in an office that was busy two days a months doing statistics I found other things to do. I joined the local volunteer fire department and after one year becamethe FireChief. I also made NCC there. The FD became a 'most of the time' job, with lots of PR for the Navy. I did two years and one deployment on the CALIFORNIA. Transferring to the Fleet Reserve on March 1, 1986.
I shall forever miss the smell of the sea a thousand miles from nowhere. "You can take the sailor from the sea, but you can't take the sea out of the sailor." "Fair winds and following seas.."

Comments: Need guidance. MCPON Bob Walker has asked me to help him write his book. Need the mess to help meanswerthe obvious questions, "What'sinit for me?", "Who gives a ----?" and so on. My advice to him has been, if we're gonna do this, let's do it on the evolution of enlisted leadership, the good, bad and ugly and where we think we are today. His own journey, beginning on the eve of'rocks and shoals' and ending with 'enlightened,' will be at the core but if I can't get ya'll to ride along, what's the point? Have gone through Hagan and Leahy's"Chief Petty Officer Guide." Not looking to write another textbook. Value your opinion. Have a cuppa joe and tell me what you really think.
