USCG Veteran 69-73. USCGC Gresham, USCGC Glacier, USCGC Cape Jellison, USCGAS San Diego and finally S.A.R. boat coxswain/boarding officer in S.D. I am also a 23 year veteran of the Garden Grove Police Dept. ("The Grove") as it is affectionately known as. Hello to all my brothers and sister veterans.............

"Semper Paratus!" Willy. I was glad to find another Coastie on these pages. Also thx to the member who wrote the praise for the cutter crew he worked with. I also would not trade a million bucks for my time in service. While I did not serve in combat, my respect and pride go with those that did. My dad was a vet, my brother is, four of my cousins and my nephew all are. God Bless The USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cpl. , USMC, 1985-1993 journeyman electrician. How come nobody in the army or navy was ever a cook or paper pogue? They are always special forces or some jet jockey .

Hey Teufelhunden! I was a sparky too! 3rd Class Electricians Mate, but was trained on the other stuff after I was trained as a sparky. It has provided a good living for my family so I am always thankful to the USCG for that.:cheer:

California Air National Guard 1978 to 1983 214th Mobile Combat Communications Sq. one year then to the 129th ARRS. Frist Electronics Tech, the later Computer operations.
