Scroll down to the lyrics of this 1990 song.

btw "usting" is a typo, should be "dusting".

Sorry, Jim, but if you sang that song on stage while not under the influence of
recreational chemicals, then you got me beat-all-to-hell in the sensitivity
department. I'm sensitive more along the lines of

Whoever did that memorial absolutely nailed the essence of being an American

Hello, Hans

Some folks I'm reading in the thread might have preferred the method in RMA
school. You *will* copy 16 words per minute before you graduate. You
*will* graduate in (was it 8 weeks? I forget). Or else. Vietnam was hot.
No one wanted the "fail and sail" option. People *did* learn Morse code in
record time :))

BTW, they had recently reduced the code speed when I was in RMA school in
1967. I believe it had been 18 words per minute and they had reduced it to
16. Oh yes, you had to memorize the BAUDOT code also.

After leaving the service, I was working at Kodak and took a part time job
at WADD in Brockport, NY, a small am radio station. I was in a rush and
ripped copy from the teletype. The guy breaking me in was watching over my
shoulder as I started the news. LOL ... right in the middle of one article
the teletype took a hit and shifted out of letters and into gibberish. I
read right through it. After we went back to the records he asked "how in
hell did you do that?". I told him 4 years in the Navy running teletypes
tend to do that to you. I was used to it. ;)


Best regards from Rochester, NY

Never had the pleasure of RMA school. Although I was a ham, out of boot camp
they sent me to RDA school at GLakes. Reported aboard my first tin-can as an
RDSN on a Saturday. On Monday AM the PN's checked me in and introducted me to
the Ops Boss who saw I was a ham. Turned out they had a surplus of scope dopes,
but needed some RM's in the worst way, so he "temporarily" assigned me to OC
instead of OI division. Thus ended my short career as an RD and started my
career as an RM. Years later BuPers still had canniptions about my gundecked
rate change.

Worse than that were the model-28s whose stunt box inadvertently had the
"unshift-on-space" toggled on. Then get a 4-section logreq which is 85%
numerals and have to mentally bit-shift that summabitch back to figs so the SK's
could read it!

As I read Hans' and Jim's and others' stories of their USN, USCG and Merchant
Marine experiences, one thing that is clear to me is that they do *not* claim
to be "one-of-a-kind" at all. Rather, they are simply relating their
experiences as part of a community. That's why the statue of a single sailor in
Washington DC can express so much.
