Re: Navy Hails Bill Cosby as Honorary Chief Petty Officer

Rick - totally agree. The last part of my posting about the CPO initiation was intended as a "tounge-in-cheek" comment, perhaps to provide some thought as to all the "hullabaloo" about these initiations in recent years - not to be taken seriously, which I can tell - you did not. Be well-------Dee

Re: Navy Hails Bill Cosby as Honorary Chief Petty Officer

Discussions with association members indicate an Honorary Membership in the IUSS Caesar Alumni Association for Mr. Cosby might be in order. Just throwing that out there. Any thoughts?

Re: Navy Hails Bill Cosby as Honorary Chief Petty Officer

Didn't see any mention of "Truth Serum". Maybe that issue should be explored.

Good thought Jim...

Re: Navy Hails Bill Cosby as Honorary Chief Petty Officer

Seems our membership isn't exclusively Ex-OT's. He was stationed at one of the Sites and I believe the main requirement for membership is to have an interest in what IUSS does and accomplished. If you are taking votes enter mine in the affirative.

Re: Navy Hails Bill Cosby as Honorary Chief Petty Officer

Sounds appropriate to me.

Re: Navy Hails Bill Cosby as Honorary Chief Petty Officer

After a bit of research we have determined that Mr. Cosby was not stationed at Argentia during NAVFAC Argentia's operations. NAVFAC Argentia wasn’t commissioned until Oct 1959, and didn’t become operational until Aug 1960. Mr. Cosby was discharged from USN in 1960 and Argentia was not his last duty station; that was NavHosp Philadelphia.

We will not be making him an honorary member of the association.
