I was supply PO for two patrols early on.

I submitted multiple creative supply chits for an aviator leather jacket without success.

So much for Polaris getting whatever they requested although for all I know they were intercepted on the tender.

I was able to get an OD Green USN blanket that I used as a beach blanket for many years after I got out.

Sailors are definitely devious and not to be trusted.

I don't know how it was done, and my hat is dipped to the King of Comshaw whoever he was. Our Departing Captain was gifted a Naval Aviators jacket with a Wolverine Collar in Holy Loch on the completion of his last run with us. Now that was a major accomplishment. ]]> Fri, 28 Feb 2020 11:14:34 +0000 http://RontiniSubmarineBBS.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5432&PID=14872&title=paving-the-way#14872 <![CDATA[Paving the way : Some off the books sick call worked...]]> http://RontiniSubmarineBBS.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5432&PID=14868&title=paving-the-way#14868 Author: Doc Gardner

Summer 1966 we were in a private yacht yard (wooden hulled Minesweep) and I requested messcooking - anything to get out of chipping paint. I never went anywhere without an apron full of apples, oranges, bananas, an occasional canned ham and plenty of coffee. A case of frozen steaks on a Friday lunch did wonders for the yacht yard personnel morale. (I tipped off the welding shop foreman to make up a barbecue and lay in a supply of charcoal.) That's where I learned how to stick, MIG and TIG weld. ]]> Tue, 25 Feb 2020 19:43:42 +0000 http://RontiniSubmarineBBS.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5432&PID=14867&title=paving-the-way#14867 <![CDATA[Paving the way : Coffee at Newport News got you...]]> http://RontiniSubmarineBBS.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5432&PID=14866&title=paving-the-way#14866 Author: gcconnor1

Mixed nuts and pistachios could get work done at PNSY, particularly from the sheet metal shop.

Those Mixed Nuts, Charles Chips, and Pretzels worked well with the Holy Loch Tenders.

Serving on a deployed FBM I learned early on the art of making friends on the Tender. Eight Taco Bell Beef Burritos for Shop 56 leading first. A large can of a certain brand of Chilis for the Chief's mess. 12 Big Mac's for  the ships Sup and friends. A six pack of Coors for the repair Officer. The Coors was split up among the crew so it could ride in the passenger compartment on the plane. The Engineering Officers and the CO knew about it, and paid the tab. The Coors came from a Trucker I hunted with out of Walterboro. Back then it wasn't sold East of the Rockies. Funny when the Tenders shifted in Holy Loch the presents were still well received. Ah, the art of Comshaw.]]> Tue, 25 Feb 2020 09:06:50 +0000 http://RontiniSubmarineBBS.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5432&PID=14861&title=paving-the-way#14861
