updates from former corpsmembers, send in yours!
"I was 19 back then and I am now 51. Wow time really flies! Max Ross was the Big Chief. Dick McDaniel was Little Chief and Dewey (Ike) McDaniel was a supervisor. Jim Batey came on as a supervisor later. One day he was going to show us how to load some firewood logs we were throwing in the back of our new state crew cab pickup truck. Jim picked up a stick of firewood and gave it a might toss. It landed in the back of the truck, bounced and went through the back window. LOL We all thought it was funny but Jim didn't. He told us one day "I am boss and what I say goes!" Well that speech earned him the nickname Master Batey. He hated me for starting that nickname. LOL. Thanks a lot for the blast from the past."
Memories: "One of Big Chief's favorite sayings was 'You mes up you will be out on county road 3 shaking hands with mother!' One of our sayings was 'We worked hard for our two ninety!' That's right, we made $2.90 as corpsmembers."
