Re: Looking for shipmates NAVFAC Argentia and NAVFAC Barbers Point early to mid 70s
I remember Buck Edwards (how that guy could eat) and Jim Nuss. No other OWO names come to mind at the moment.
I do remember an "event" on one slow mid. One of the RMs (possibly named Gubish) put a rubber snake in a rolled up TARF and sent it via Zip tube to the OWO (female) who almost had a heart attack when she dumped it on on her desk. I thought she was going to kill the RM

Robin,
Wasn't Scott the OWO that was crazy about surfing? He'd go surfing at Nimitz (Officer's) Beach on a mid - eve swing and then clean up and crash for a few hours at the NAVFAC BEQ before going in for the Eve Watch.

Rick,
I attempted to find Scott McGinns on face book some time ago. He convinced me to go surfacing with him after a midwatch, never did that again. He was a great Officer and a good friend. Linda and I visited them one evening in a Honolulu condo they rented. Went to dinner some where. They were a nice couple.
