said: Passed through the gates of RTC Great Lakes in March of '74, Company 910. After QM 'A' in
Florida I found my way to the USS Pargo (SSN 650) from 8/74 - 9/78. Got out and went cross country
for three months, arrived back on Long Island, broke, in Dec 78. Everyone there had the 'Cheers'
thing going. The only thing to change in the last year were the bar stools. Joined Uncle Sam's
Confused Group mid-December 78 and ended up in sunny Brownsville, TX on the CGC Durable, as a QM2,
to December '80. That's about the time they overhauled seapay. With over six years of sea time the
detailer, who told me I could have the 82' I wanted, ended up sending me to MSO Pittsburgh from '80
- 84 as a QM1. Then in '84 I was told he still had QM's that 'needed' sea time and he also had a
'crisis' on GUAM at the RCC that he needed me for. Sat on GUAM from '84 - '86, and then was sent to
MSO Cincinnati until the station was downgraded to a MSD. Left Cincinnati in '86, as a QMC, for the
Intelligence Coordnation Center (ICC)and spent 4 years there. I left the 'dark side' in '90 to
serve as the Chief of the Honor Guard until I decided to bail out in April 95. For the last six
years I've been living in Pittsburgh (wife's home town) where else was I expected to retire to?

On 09/18/99 GMC Jim Heincy (Retired)
said: I went to NTC San Diego in 1972. My fisrt Ship was USS Coral Sea (CVA-43), out of San
Fran. Than the USS Pluck (MSO-464) in San Diego, than the USS Abnaki (ATF-96), also in San Diego.
Than the Navy sent me to a Reserve Center in Harford,CT. Finished The Navy after 9 years and a
GMG1. Went right into the Coast Guard and was sent to the USCGC Duane, than Group Portland, ME.
Four years later I was I did a tour on USCGC Tamaroa, (former USS Zuni (ATF-95), sister ship to the
USS Abnaki). After three years on Tamaroa I made Chief and was sent to MSO Corpus Christi and was
there 5 years. Was transfererd to the First District Armory which had been moved to Cape Cod, MA.
I retired out of the armory up on the Cape. Had some great times in the Navy, saw a lot of the
world. My wife and I visited the old NTC San Deigo back in Dec 97 and found out that it's all been
changed. Not even a boot camp any longer. My old barraks building, across from the galley, has
been torn down. Some of the old wooden barraks buildings still stand though. Worm Island, where
they use to send the new boots, is some kind of correctional facility. There is a chain link fence
that runs right through the center of the grinder in front of the galley. I was kinda disappointed
when I saw it. The Navy sold it to the city. Progress I guess. The old main gate, where my father
went through back in 1945, still stands though. The old graduation grinder with the gunmounts in
front of it is also still there. Yeah, had some great times in the Coast Guard too, but still have
those good ol' Navy memories. Thanks for listening.

went thru Boot Camp, Company 288, QMC P.R. Schlaffman was the CC. San Diego is nice in the fall.
Started out in Camp Nimitz then moved mainside and became acquainted with USS Recruit. After Boot,
I went to Fleet Sonar School, Key West for 6 months, then to USS Sierra (AD-18) and on to USS Damato
(DDE-871), USS Biddle (DDG-5)later renamed Ricketts, and back to Key West as in Instructor. Part of
the time I instructed with SOC Day and SO1's Kollar, Crabb and Hill, CG types. I contemplated
jumping to the CG then. From there I went on to USS Fletcher (DD-445) and USS Radford (DD-446, both
at Pearl Harbor. After 11 2/3 years I got out as STC. 2 years later I was enlisted in the CG as
ST1 by MKC Terrell in Spokane and sent to FleTraGru, Pearl Harbor. I worked there with STC Chris
Pylate, and LTs Chris Bonner and Winston Churchill. From there I went to SQS-38 school and on to

After 19 wks in the State Patrol Academy(boot camp has nothing on that experience, especially at age
44)I graduated as a Trooper and switched to Motor Carrier Inspector (Diesel Bear). I guess I can't
get away from Dept.s of Transportation. This past July I retired from the State Patrol with 15
years as an Inspector and Compliance Review Officer. I figure this should be my last retirement,
barrng any unforseen opportunities. I wouldn't trade a minute of any of it. In the meantme, I am
involved as a volunteer recruiter for the Coast Guard here in the La Crosse/Onalaska area.
