Target Practice
William "Ace" Hunter, preparing to attack the Pacific Ocean with a Thompson, July 1967. LTJG Peter L. Riebau on the left.
(Chet Headley comments: On the right,
in shorts, is LCDR Mark Markley, CO of OcUnit Three at the time. Markley was also a Mustang. He went aboard as an LT, and was EMO and XO. During his tour he was promoted
to LCDR, so at that time Michelson had two LCDRs aboard, him and the CO, LCDR Pritchett. When Pritchett was transferred, Markley became CO for a few months until a
replacement reported aboard. (I do not know if Markley stayed or was transferred off.)
An Inspection
Curtis Neeley, Lincoln Haymaker, Ace Hunter, LCDR Pritchett (Co of OcUnit 3).
