I was on the same course too, though I don't know who 'Pofman in Florida' is! We did have fun in those days and always worried about Mike and Jackie when at Culdrose.
After Portland we went back to Culdrose waiting for a Wessex course. We needed to fill in time and were told to choose a SMAC so decided on a Shallow Water Diving course because it paid 4/- per day (if we passed!) Well we did pass even though it was December/January '62 and really cold in Portsmouth waters.
Since then Mike and I didn't meet up though we both worked in Bristow for very many years. Happy memories and I still pass his old house in Budleigh Salterton every now and again and send him a thought.
Rest in peace Mike and we'll see you on the other side and catch up with old news.
