NAS OAKLAND? by
Jdf4cheval
Over a few beers today with a former Marine and sailor from the Fifties, "NAS
Oakland" was mentioned. The Marine recalled it was in the old section of what
is now Oakland Internatinal Airport. One of the surviving buildings may still
have Navy wings on it. Has anyone else heard of NAS OAKLAND?

JAG and Petty Officers by
Jack & Bev Biagini
In watching JAG over the last few years, these lawyer types address Petty
Officers as Petty Officer "So and So". I had a "Crow" on my sleeve for 2
years and was never addressed as Petty Officer, nor did I ever hear anyone
else called a Petty Officer.
Of course this was back in the late 50's when...

Winchester? by
Elmshoot
When did the turm "Winchester" come into being to mean that you were out of
ammo.
I was trying to explain the term to my daughter and got to thinking that maybe
it has a long history. During my time from 76-94 it was used by the attack guys
as well to signify they were out of all ordnance.
