First permanently assigned detachment at Sinop, Turkey. Taken on Navy Day, October 13, 1966

A day off at Sinop. The Army took over our positions so we could relax together on Navy Day, 10/13/1966. A few of us went down to a nearby beach and tried the Black Sea waters. (They were very cold). CTI1 Hank Raum, with the towel, CTI3 Tony Chavez, in front and next to him, and CTR3 Danny Shephard, far right.
