Note entry at 10 am: "GTC at instruction"

What might GTC stand for? General Tactical Crew?

I can't help but note that CHommel is no longer listed as active... Just a coincidence I'm sure...

Can I do it anonymously?

i) I think Randi is closest, and
ii) now that the dust seems to have settled, I think it's <drum roll>
Gunnery Training Class, although I have been wrong before; in 1987 as I recall.

Pipes out!

Okay, I have to admit that sounds more likely than Greek Teriyaki Chefs. But not nearly as much fun.

Fine. You chuck buckets full of stew at me and I'll chuck a few pounds of lyddite at you and we'll see who gets tired first. ;D

Well, I haven't been able to be on OW as much as I would like to lately. Must admit, while Gunnery Training Class is most believable, I, too, am partial to Greek Teriyaki Chefs...

dorbel wrote:Sun Jun 12, 2011 11:49 am I think it is Gunnery and Torpedo Classes, having seen it written out in full on several ships.

Tegwen wrote:Sun Jun 12, 2011 11:51 am Possibly, but Clio and the other Cadmus sloops had no torpedoes, so I think gunnery training crew comes a close second to the Teryaki Chefs.

dorbel wrote:Mon Jun 13, 2011 6:23 am True, no torpedoes on Cadmus class sloops. I see that the Wiki entry for this has expanded greatly in the last six months. Perhaps some unsung heroes from OW have been at work!

Tegwen wrote:Mon Jun 13, 2011 9:45 am A tiny proportion of the work I put into that site has been accepted by the information faschists, and there have been others, including Janet Jaguar who have also put a lot of time in there.
