BEE was the start in San Diego of way to many to count electrical and electronics courses. Wow a BM, you need about an ASVAB score of 0 to be one. Intelligence abounds in that rate. They can blow a good Boatswains pipe though. I have one from the USS Curts I took from the BM Locker. Edited November 29, 2022 by Sgt.

fortyearspickn Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Thread topic reminds me of one of many David Letterman's 'apologies' after people pushed back on one of his more outrageous bits: "I apologize if my comments offended those of you who have thin skins, questionable affection for the target of my attack, or no sense of humor. I regret all those things from the bottom of my heart." I paraphrased - but that was the gist of all his apologies.n n n The older I get, the more definitions of words I thought I knew change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only BM piping I recall is "Turn to, commence ship's work." 2x a day for 4 years.... but, no - I passed the BE&E course and was promoted to Radioman, the Boatswain's Mate thing was a self-depreciating attempt at humor. I apologize to myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize to myself. Why does a RM need BEE. You guys broke the Comm gear and the ET's fixed it for you. I was going to be and ET and half way through school I was drinking to much at the Circus Pub across the train tracks out the front gate of Great Mistakes. I was in the phase where we were learning about the Whiskey xxx Transceiver Radio Comm Thing. So they made me an EM and I started from EM school day one. It was so damn easy compared to ET school.

That was a waste of time. I'll bet if you didn't have that training you would have opened the back and stuck your hand in only once. Twice maybe just to see if you liked it the first time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was relatively unknown then and was awful. George and his band were total pros, but his country is not my glass of scotch. Edited November 29, 2022 by Sgt.

II is my jam followed by the 1st one then Fair Waring, then I could care less. Women And Children was meh and Diver Down had not one, not two but three cover songs on it. Which meant they were to stoned, drunk and lazy to write a few more original tunes. I thought Sammy was going to make that band so damn good, but they turned in a bunch of woosies.

VH II,, the only song that actually I can remember, is "Dance the night away" I think was from that one . That was a good cover too, definitely got the crowd off their arses and on the dance floor.. After that, I just kind of lost interest in what they were doing other than being amazed at how Eddie could play. I did also like the harmonies they pulled off, but the songs, "meh..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
