One more newspaper photo(San Diego Union) from days gone by - circa April 66. The Navy just opened the gates on promotions. One sixth of our enlisted crew were promoted. That's me shaking hands with the Skipper when I sewed on my 2nd Class Crow. The promotion list was published on a Friday and there was a mad rush to get new crows for the Monday ceremony. :)

BTW... That promotion raised my pay. Along with my diving pay ($55/mo) I was then raking in a whopping $294/mo. Let the Good Times Roll! :)
