Hi Sports Fans!

I'm looking for someone who might know why the A-4C Skyhawk Squadron
VA-93 "Blue Blazers" was also known by the nickname "Blue Boozers", at
least on the 1966 Westpac/Vietnam Cruise on the "Big E."

The implications are obvious. But, I want to know the back story. Was
there a particular event that earned them that nickname? Did the
squadron members adopt it for themselves? Was a particular individual
responsible for labeling the squadron such?

There has to be some Naval Aviation historians in this esteemed group.
Any information would be appreciated.

Sounds like somebody got caught dipping his pen in blue ink.
