It gives me great pleasure to promote Corpsman Yost to Communications Commander for Southern California. Hip, Hip, Hooray! Hip, Hip, Hooray! or Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop,Pop (That's the sound of a 21 gun salute) Enough of this para military stuff. I LOVE YOU MARY YOST General Jim
