  • 52 in Addition to Ordinary Work We Would Also
    In addition to ordinary work we would also exercise at emergency drills to keep the crew in a state of readiness. General Quarters drills let us know how fast we could get ready for combat. Fire drills tested the condition of our fire fighting equipment, as well as the men themselves. Emergency in the missile house drills practiced the procedures for getting damage control crews into the restricted nuclear weapons spaces. Here the motor whaleboat is being launched during a man overboard drill. If "practice makes perfect" we should have been pretty damned good! Life at sea is not all work and no play. When not on duty we had some time to relax. Some guys liked to get suntans. Officers used "teak beach" on the foc’sle and enlisted men took in the rays on the fantail. 52 After dinner, sailors and officers would find their favorite spots to gather and “shoot the shit” or wander off in the hope of finding a private spot to sit and have a smoke. I would usually opt for that quiet spot somewhere alone where I could watch the sea or read a paperback book. Oh yes, I also smoked at sea. I grew fond of Tiparillo Menthol cigars but never was able to inhale them much. I just enjoyed the routine of smoking and even later took up the pipe aboard my stateside ships. When the weather was bad I would go below and sit on the crowded mess deck floor and watch movies projected on a sheet. I remember the John Wayne movies the most because they always had such spectacular western scenery it always left me home sick and thinking of the States.

  • Lloyd Neighbors
    The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project LLOYD NEIGHBORS Interviewed by: David Reuther Initial interview date: February 6th, 2013 Copyright 2014 ADST Q: Today is the 6th of February, 2013. This is an interview for the Association of Diplomatic Studies and Trainings Oral History Program. We’re talking to Lloyd Neighbors this morning. I’m David Reuther. Lloyd, let’s start with where you were born and what was your family background? NEIGHBORS: I was born in Marshall, Texas, in 1945, November, in the tiny gap between the greatest generation and the baby-boom generation, which started in ’46. Marshall is a small town in East Texas, not far from the Louisiana line. It’s the home of Bill Moyers, or as he is known there, Billy Don Moyers, and the home of James Farmer, the founder of CORE (Congress of Racial Equality). The folksinger Lead Belly was from around there, as was the former heavyweight champion of the world, George Foreman. My aunt Sue used to see him at the local Piggly Wiggly (grocery store). Although I was born in Marshall, my father was in the military, in the Air Force. I spent a lot of time traveling around. I lived in 14 different states, plus the District of Columbia, and from kindergarten through 12th grade attended 12 different schools. Moving around as an Air Force brat got me used to the idea that after three or four years in one place, I needed a change of scenery, a new slant on reality. Q: If your father was in the Air Force, were most of his tours in the continental U.S.? NEIGHBORS: Most of them in the U.S., although I did spend 1954 through 1956 in Okinawa.
