Charlie, I think the Chief Williams Jim Wheeler is talking about is the Dave Williams STG3 that was in watch section four with us on Eleuthera in 65,66 & 67 I heard he had decided to make the Navy his career. I wouldn't be surprised, he was smarter than me.
One of my life long buddies in the system is David L. Williams. I first met Dave in NFLD 1966-1970. He was an STG3 then STG2 when we both re-enlisted and went to Barbers Point and comissioned that site. I believe his duty station prior to Argentia was Grand Turks. He did tour of Brawdy, Kef, and COSL. I know he retired as a Master Chief I think in 1888-89, but not sure of that. I am not sure this is the Dave Williams you knew, but I know he lives in Virgina Beach.
