In Yokosuka it would have been said that those boys were "Taksan stinko."

Boat Cockswain, pronounced Cox'n. USS Merrick AKA 97. My avatar shows the type of boat I drove.
I was in boot camp when hostilities ended in Korea, with the end of the war, rates were frozen and I
didn't want to be a seaman with a hashmark, so got out. If I'd made 3rd class I'm sure I'd of shipped
over.

I can honestly say I didnt exactly love every day of it, but Im screaming proud that I did it then, and lucky I dont have to do it now. Seems as if they changed some of the rules since I left. They probably dont even have beer machines on the bases any more.
