Hey Billie & Tonkin, Thanks for including me. (Center pic on the bottom row. I made the big time, Ma!!)

It all started in 1980. I was a M-1 Tanker(Steel on Target) for 4 years. Then joined the U.S Coast Guard and have been here ever since. From Coos Bay, OR to Va Beach(CGC Cherokee WMEC-165)to the New Mexico desert(LORAN Station Las Cruces) to working with the DEA at the El Paso Intel Center, I dont think I could be more well rounded. I am on a 180' Buoy Tender stationed in Guam now. (Where America's day begins. Check your watches...its around 1430 on thursday the 25th as I am writing this.)

I was a lurker here for the first 6 or 7 months and posted on occation. Usually I just throw my $.02 in when I feel its needed. I have been trying to re-build my web presents lately but with our current situation its hard to find the time. Thank GOD for FreeRepublic, I get all my news and info from here and am glad to say I stay very well informed.

If anyone knows where I can get a small chunk of web space please freepmail me. I need someplace to post some of my pics from to FreeRepublic.

The Unofficial Website of CGC Sassafras Come and give us a visit. You might see someone you know.

Its an inside look at your tax dollars being worked down to the last penny! The Navy retires ships before they get a quarter this old!

Commissioned on May 11th, 1944, its not even the oldest ship in the U. S. Coast Guard yet!

And I dont want to hear any "Shallow Water Navy" Jokes either. The last swim call I took was in over 22,500 feet of water.

LET'S ROLL
