Any of you EAGLE sailors from 1985/1986 might want to check out the picture of me and Sammy Vigo holding our weekly Admin/Finance staff conference -- or playing with the word processor. You can use your own judgment about that. Like to have that hair back, or any for that matter.

Miltary.com has an article 'Too few Coast Guard Cutters...'. Some of the comments posted are , I believe unfair to ADM Allen. Hope you sailors do some positive posting on this site. Since ADM Allen has taking over, more press on the CG, More prestige, more understanding thru the ranks,more accomplishments,more completed international missions, USCG is now advertised with Armed Forces Recruiting, and much much more. This with NO ADDITIONAL Budget. It seems to me , the credit for doing a well done job is and has always been passed down. Miltary.com has been a good source of reporting, but the readers who respond like to take the negative side.. It's time to help support the Good , post a comment on Miltary.com

The CG Museum at the Academy is selecting artifacts that best represent the LORAN stations as they are being dismantled. What objects would work best to document not only how LORAN operated, but what life was like at the stations? Please send me your suggestions and I will forward them on. Email me.

Wow, Just saw the proposed budget for the USCG. They are finally decommissioning four of the 378's and the Queen of the Fleet the Acushnet. You can't say that the USCG doesn't get their money's worth from their fleet. It's a credit to all of the crews, from Precom until now, that these ships are still at sea. I didn't realize it then but I was lucky enough to put The Dauntless in commission in 1968.

Greetings: I just wanted to take a minute to inform you of a worthy cause I am participating in. On May 9th 2010, I will be joining approximately 1,000 Police Officer's from around the country to ride our bicycles from East Hanover New Jersey to Washington DC with the Police Unity Tour. The tour is a non profit tax deductible organization designed to bring awareness for those who have lost their lives keeping us safe and to raise funds for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in DC. Each rider is required to raise $1,700.00 and to date I have raised over $2,100.00. I will be riding with Team Vegas to honor the 4 Las Vegas Police Officers who have died this year. During my research of the tour, I discovered that the names of 12 Coast Guardsmen are listed among the thousands on the memorial wall. So, I have decided to add the CG Patch to my Unity Tour Uniform and ride for the 12. Below I have added two links for you to view. V/R LT Brian Godkin http://www.nleomf.org/officers/search/search-results/search.jsp (This link will take you to the names of the Coast Guard fallen who are listed on the memorial wall. You can also read about the incidents that caused their deaths). Just click on FALLEN OFFICER SEARCH and type in US Coast Guard. If you or someone you know wish to donate please visit www.firstgiving.com/briangodkin1

Hi, I'm looking for any information I can find on my late great uncle, Henry Beland. All I know about him is that he was born about 1903 in Fall River, MA. He was married to Isabelle and he served in the Coast Guard. I found an earlier post referencing a Henry Beland who served on the Duane. I'm trying to find out if that WAS the same Henry Beland and if anyone knows anything about him. Thank you so much. Donna Bellanger Gleason PS. He was my grandfather's brother

Further to my last post regarding 1/144 th. scale figures, the e-mail came from Roland Meehan. My e-mail address is malcolm@deeweb.co.uk . If you read this Roland I will be more than happy to help.
On 01/29/10 Malcolm Watts said:
I have had an e-mail from someone asking about 1/144 th. scale figures for a model USCG cutter and if any such items were available in the UK. When I replied to the message it was returned as 'unable to deliver'. I do not know why. The e-mail was from ' pflueger '. There are many 'n' gauge figures available over here and I am willing to help in any way I can. So if ' pflueger ' comes back to me with a 'phone number I will call.

Steven - Wouldn't it be easier to support a couple of guys that have been gathering LORAN history for several years? Facebook requires us to register to even look at the information gathered there. This site http://www.loran-history.info/ does a great job of bringing old LORAN shipmates together.

Sebago Sailors and others that may have had old friends on Sebago - The reunion at Mobile over Labor Day was LOTS of fun. We have had some suggestions that it might be a good idea to extend the effort to an annual or bi-annual 'ALL D-8' or 'ALL CG Floating' reunion. Several of our Sebago Shipmates sat down to record their memories of Sebago and they may be seen at - http://www.sebagosailors.org/videos/index.html - Notice that many of the guys suggest this is a fun thing to do. Take a look and let me know ... Regards to all 73's 'LB'

Finally, the complete (preliminary version) manual for the AN/URT-12 has been scanned and is free online here: http://www.bunkerofdoom.com/mil/urt12/index.html It is 260MB, scan at 300DPI. The purpose is mainly for the few hams (me and one other guy? sheesh.) that have these rare old sets, as they are not easy to work on, and I have a love hate relationship with mine that is for sure. (Just as a few CG RTOs had warned..) If there is a URT-12 aboard a restored/museum ship, maybe the manual will help. I hope others will download it for archives because all things are temporary in this world and one never knows how long one's website will exist. Indelibly in the file's second page, the scan is dedicated to all GC radiomen. Thank you for your service! Thanks Fred for space to post this, we're full circle now!

Many of us used to patrol the waters around Haiti to interdict Haitians trying to leave and get to Miami. On the Hamilton we used to call these patrols 'Haitian Vacations' during the short time I was on the Ham we returned hundreds back to Haiti. We were in and out of Port of Prince many times, we got to know the vendors on the dock so well, we used to sit on the dock and drink beer with them. The Haitians were a friendly people and treated us well inspite of the mission we had. The crew on board used to bring stuff to give to the locals and we traded with the local vendors for some pretty amazing carved art work. The wardroom actually commissioned a local artisan to carve replicas of a command at sea device, a cuttermans pin as a gift for the CO for his change of command. It is still gratifying to see that the Coast Guard was one of the first to arrive to assist. As usual the CG was Semper Paratus and up to the task. It may be a different Coast Guard than when I was in but it is still number one in my book. I just hope they get the recognition that they deserve.

I just saw the most amazing video from Haiti on NBC's national news. They are reporting on the military efforts to help the people but the only group that was shown were the US Coast Guardsmen who have been on the ground for three days. They showed a 270' cutter in the port that had been there since the start, well before the Navy carrier showed up. This is another unbelievable response of the USCG, similar to Katrina four years ago. Men and women of the USCG, we are proud of you. Thank you all.
