I remember Chief Muir well. He was a fleet chief, and many at Arg didnt relate well to some of his methods when he took over Research Div., me included. But he was consistent and fairly administered to all hands his style of leadership. Later on in my journey I understood more fully the rationale he used. Fair winds Chief!

Thanks for the post informing the IUSS community of OTC Muir's recent passing. I am fairly certain that he was one of the Watch Coordinator's during the time we were in Bermuca - must have been in the 1966-1969 timeframe, I expect. I believe that Earl had recently come from the fleet before BDA and if my memory serves me correctly, I had him in my watch section for a time, for indoc training.
I pray for his family's comfort during this difficult time. Shoot me an email some time.

Earl did come from the fleet prior to BDA. He was a WC when I arrived in 1/66. He and I studied for the chief test , he made it and I never heard the end of that until he came to Nantucket and I was E-8 He was a good man. Lost a lot of guys from BDA , Berringer, Hupp, Bowman. The Memorial List makes me wonder .
