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.
