Brian T. Gahn Mamou Louisiana Mechanical Engineering Navy Air Gonzo Brian reported to USNA as our resident cajun having already spent two years at school back in Louisiana. This proved to be his key to success since he was never bothered wrth trivialities like studying Instead, he was always available to help out a classmate with any problem, and few ever left his room without receiving his genuine support during E I During Plebe year and Youngster year, no one could really figure Brian out since he played as many sports as he possibly could and was usually caught sleeping during his tree periods Brians speed on the O- Course is a testament to his abilities, but when he discovered sailing, he said good-bye to most of his weekends In this, too. Brian excelled markedly becoming a cockpit captain quicker than most people learn to trim sheets During Second Class year, the girls discovered Brian, and he was literally besieged by them with letters and calls Without much effort, he managed well in the face of this and he will probably always be seen with a different young lady in his passenger ' s seat going down route 50 Brian must learn that drinking excessively during Plebe year does not help ones chances tor stripes, but it does help one ' s chances for form-2s ' Despite the fact that he could have been commissioned two years before the rest of us, none of the Boys from Nineteen would have wanted Brian any other way than the loyal classmate he was EBM Christopher P.
