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
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
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.
