Around AA - Items of AA Information and Experience

Four AA Firsts

"Our brand-new group aboard U.S.S. Bainbridge represents quite a breakthrough for those of us who are military alcoholics. As far as we know, we have the first AA group on a nuclear-powered U.S. Navy ship. We're a small but persistent group--and we're having some good success in attracting the still-suffering alcoholic to the program. At last, some of the crew (some 500 men) know where to turn for help. The commanding officer, executive officer, and medical officer have all shown great interest and cooperation with AA. Our Higher Power is really working for the program out here."
