NOTES:
1. UNREP DAY
Our
activity this morning after securing from General Quarters will
be devoted primarily to replenishment. Once
again let me remind you that
this takes the cooperation of all hands to get the job
done as quickly
and painlessly as possible. We are going to
re-arm, refuel and take on
atores this morning from three different service force
ships; so lets
pitch in and get it completed.
2. COMBAT
ACTION RIBBON
Last night the ship was taken under
fire by coastal defense batteries
on the coast of North Vietnam. This will
undoubtedly qualify everyone on
board for the Combat Action Ribbon. YN1
STANFIELD, our friendly yeoman
is presently researching the eligibility requirements
and procedures for
obtaining this award.
3. PERSONAL
CLEANLINESS
It
has become obvious since our departure, that the lovely girls of
Obangapo City are not the most hygienic in the world.
Their unsanitary
habit, coupled with a lack of soap and water on the
part of some RICHMEN
has resulted in what is called balanitis. This
is not veneral disease,
but it does result in severe pain and inflammation of
the penis and
surrounding area. It is commonly associated with
poor local genital
hygiene habits. All hands are reminded, that
even though you must take
a Navy 'shower' to conserve water, don't forget to
wash, rinse and dry
your genital area thoroughly.
On
the other hand however, there have been a dozen cases of bonafide
VD reported on board since Subic Bay and the number is
increasing everyday.
VD can be easily cured if reported early. So, if
in doubt, contact the
friendly Chief Corpsman in Sickbay. All
consultations are kept in the
strictest privacy, of course.
FINALLY, FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATIONS IN BEHALF OF LT
CALLEY - The three
parole officers who interviewed Lieutenant William
Calley Monday are
reported to have submitted favorable recommendations
on his behalf. The
parole officers reportedly found that for the last
year and a half he
has served "cruel and unusual punishment". He is
serving a 20 year
sentence fro his involvement in the deaths of 22
Vietnamese civilians at
My Lai. The report of the parole officers was
forwarded to the Commanding
Officer at Fort Benning where Calley is being
detained. The Court of
Military review is scheduled to hear arguments on the
Calley appeal Monday.
Calley has filed a formal request to be at the
hearings in Washington, and
his request is under consideration.
MISTAKEN BOMBING RAID -
The Saigon Command reported Tuesday that the
casualty toll of Vietnamese civilians killed in a
misguided bombing raid
is now 21. The raid left more than 20 others
wounded and destroyed 30
homes. The US Command said two air force fighter
bombers and four navy
attack planes participated in the raid south of
DaNang.
JAPAN AIR LINES CRASH -
Two Americans are reported among 16 survivors of
the crash of a Japan Air Lines jetliner in Moscow
Tuesday. But 60 others
aboard were killed. The plane was bound from
Tokyo.
UNITED NATIONS -
Expected next week at the United Nations is a vote by the
Legal Committee of the General Assembly on Terrorism.
The issue has been
debated for nearly three weeks. And 95 of the
132 UN members have partici-
pated in the discussion.
The US proposal to lower
its share of the operating budget of the United
Nations was given an unexpected boost Tuesday by
France. The United States
is seeking to lower its share of financial support.
OLD BROTHELS - There's
money to be found in old brothels, especially one
formerly known as Marguerite's in Charlottsville,
Virginia. As many as
100 people a day have been digging for money at the
site of the building
that was demolished recently. Wednesday, a crane
operator uncovered $700,
and a 16 year old girl found a metal box under a tree.
The box contained
$8,000. (Note from Editor - Maybe she can
rebuild the fun house?) The
Internal Revenue Service advises that any money found
is taxable.
FOUND INNOCENT - Shelly
Gilbert was found innocent of lewdness Tuesday for
removing her bathing suit on a Brooklyn, New York
beach. Criminal Court
Judge Robert Kriendler ruled that while Miss Gilbert
had been nude on the
Mill Island Beach last August 19th, the prosecution
failed to establish
that she did anything "in a lewd manner". While
acquitting Miss Gilbert
on the lewdness charge, the judge reserved his
decision on another charge
against her - "exposure of a female".
MARIJUANA IN NEVADA - In
Nevada a twin engine plane that authorities say
was loaded with marijuana crashed Tuesday near the
community of Archlight.
The two men aboard were killed.
WASTE TREATMENT PLANTS -
The Nixon Administration says it is releasing two
billion dollars for construction of municipal waste
treatment plants during
this fiscal year. The administration also says
it plans to spend another
three billion dollars on waste treatment facilities
during the fiscal year
beginning next July.
