In September of 1971, I enlisted in the Coast Guard, and went to boot camp in Alameda, California. Alameda was also the winter home of the Goodyear blimps. They were always buzzing around.
Late one day, we are out learning to march, and one of the blimps made a really, REALLY low pass
right over the grinder. Our company commander, Chief Quartermaster Reed, must have gotten
tired of yelling "Eyes FRONT!" whenever the blimps were around. He halted us, and shouts "Eyes UP! Now look at the Goddamned thing!"
He gave us about a minute, and then it was "Eyes FRONT!" again and back to work........
