[RaceBannon]

In oredr to get mail at sea, we had a navy or Marine 46 drop off mail and whatever on the back flight deck on the USS Lamoure County, LST 1194.

When there was an aircraft coming in, we wouldhear the call over the 1MC, "Flight Quarters, Flight Quaters, man your flight quarters stations"

One day, we heard the call for Flight Quarters. 5 minutes later, we heard another call over the 1MC:

"Will the person holding the kyes to the Flight Quarters Gear Locker please lay the same?"

That sailor who had the keys for the locker with all the helmets and vests didnt show up for Flight Quarters!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"That sailor who had the keys for the locker with all the helmets and vests didnt show up for Flight Quarters!"

"Now, I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt...that duplicate key DID exist!"
