BACKROW L TO R: BM2 R.BROWN, SA E. ADAMS, SA VALERIO, SN PRENOT hird Division's led by the Boat Group Commander, who's so friendly we like to call him by his nickname Nlr.Shuck. lVlr.Grimm and lVlr.Staples were the nicknames of other BGC's in 1985. Until January 1986 BlVll Eubanks served as Leading Petty Officer. BMI reported to the STLOUIS after shore duty in Subic, and came to the ship to start working for a living. BM2 Martins will now have to do the same. As coxswains, we are: BM2 Scullen, the quiet, judg- mentai type. I-le has all the markings of a mass murderer. BM2 Esposito is the no-compromise coxswain. Things have to be done his way or the right way. BM2 Brown hasn't made a mis- talfe since 1972. BM2 Franklin is quiet, too. He's already put his mass murdering techniques to worlf as Mess Decks MAA. As for BM2 Harris, lust ask him about his abilities as a coxswain... he's good. The Third Class Petty Officers have more humility as coxswains than the BNl2's except for BM3 Riggle. BM3 Burch sort of grew up to adulthood on the ST.LOUlS he hardly ever swag- gers or rubs his belly anymore. BM3 Loveless is a complainer, but complaining comes easy to most of the coxwains. And BlVl3 Lewis, he has to be a good card player: his face disguises itself as if he's always telling a fib. That way, nobody can tell when he really is. SN McCrumm is a no-non- sense coxswain. Others are quickly on their way to becoming coxswains A SN Adams, SN Custer, SN DelNegro, SN Brown, SN Valerio. When they reach seniority and authority, they can be poked fun at in a cruise book, too. '99 LTJG SHUCK
