Years Served: 1971-1973…Howdy to the crew of the USS Rowan. I am Flash Fulton and served on board from Nov. 1971 to Nov. 1973. I was a SN3 BM and moved to GM before I left the ship in 1973. I never really wanted to move up in rank because I really didn’t want to have to be a total tailhole like just about every petty office and officer I knew while I was pulling my hitch. I want to say hey to Glanzer, Gallagaher, Sealy, Jack Galven, Chico, KG Moore, Gauntbine, Glass and Richards. Thanks for being a good friend during that time. I hope all of you have had a great life just as good as mine has been since I got out.

Served onboard Dec. 25, 1967 thru Feb. 2, 1970. Disbursing Clerk Second Class.
Supply Division. I can still remember some names of shipmates that stood outside the Disbursing office to receive their pay. I loved my job. Everyone had a smile on their face for at least a day, especially the slush fund runners. I always did my best figuring the amounts
due even though it never seem to enough for us that put are lives on the line. Only once did I feel like throwing a pay card overboard and that was when the XO threw my iron overboard, but I came to my senses. Plus, it was my fault that the inspection tag had somehow disappeared. Enough, already! Hope all those that read this have fair winds and following seas for rest of your lives and beyond.
