Center left picture, I'm the shirtless guy on the right in collar and chain as the Wog Dog.

Center picture is the CO, who's shin I bit in my duties AS the Wog Dog!

Center right picture, the Wog Bitch. (Apologies, ladies. That's what it was called, then). (Not me.)

SN Greg Wright I am not sure what WOG stands for but it seems to have something to do with crossing the equator.
I think you picture and your description would blend in well with the question I asked last December: https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/do-you-have-photographs-of-yourself-with-your-friends-or-unit-members-in-uniform-share-one-two-or-three-of-your-favorite-pictures?page=7&urlhash=1837721#1837721

Do you have photographs of yourself with your friends or unit members in uniform? Share one, two,...

RallyPoint seems to be a great place to share our stories and pictures. I have seen and responded to first and last pictures in uniform discussion which were focuses on each of us. I would like to see pictures of us with our comrades in arms. I hope you will join me in sharing pictures of yourself with others in uniform. Three pictures of me with friends - Top winter at Grafenwoehr in 1982 (2) graduation day at West Point on May 28, 1980, (3)...

The biggest regret of my tour of sea duty was we missed crossing the line and the accompanying festivities. The troops could hardly wait to get their hands on me, but I lost the one and only one chance I ever had to cross the line. Regrettably we were ordered north in response the North Koreans shooting down an electronic surveillance plane with all aboard lost. That regrettable loss of all 31 souls has always stayed in my mind.

SN Greg Wright The USS William Weigel delivered me to Korea in 1954. Being enterprising, I 'found' an galley that was fully stocked, but not in service. I don't recall which flavors of ice cream we surreptitiously enjoyed!

Dug one out from my Antarctic days. I used a T-2 on traverses for navigation. This was long before GPS, too close to the magnetic pole for much help, so everything was visual which you could see 50-100+ miles easy on clear days (most were). Took my bearings and dropped them onto a chart using a 3-Arm protractor. Pretty easy. Had to use different techniques in a White Out. Mostly you hunkered down but if doing a SAR, wind direction, feel of the snow ridges under the tracks, etc. and tedious slow speed eventually got you there.
