Here we have the proficient Radiomen of the EPPERSON. ' Sometimes people wonder if it is so, but We all know that we're the best! Starting way back when the EPPERSON was in Fram Radio received Mike THE FISH Ryan. He now has the least amount of time left to do, so it looks like he will never find his HONG KONG HONEYH! Then the Radio Shack was blessed with Tom POD Hulsey, number one backstabber on the ship, and he holds the slot of the Hottest Teletype operator in VVESTPAC. Ron SLOOPY Hunt, who claims he can surf in a bathtub, is the all around Boatswains Mate of the shack. VValter WHERE'S MY PRO-PAY Benavitz, is responsible for the training in the Shack and for the repairs of his beloved Mighty Mites. Ramiro HSINGERFLYH Massas is the Shack's lovesick supply P.O. with a list of wrong stock numbers. He is the only one in the Navy who orders a box of Paper Clips and receives a box of Flashlight Batteries in return. ' - Frank EXTRA DUTY Munger insists that he has late sleepers every morning but the Mas- ter at Arms DISAGREES! Delicate Douglas Mfhite is the ship's Decorator, give him a bag of shredded paper then run for your life.
