Capt. Frank USCG-AUX


I was a Coastie from 1976-80. When I got out, I was a Quartermaster 1st
Class (i.e. navigation specialist). Most of my time was on a buoy tender in
San Francisco. Overall, it was a good experience -- I was able to do and
learn a lot of things that I wouldn't have otherwise.

Coastie here too....

I was a Yeoman First Class (E-6) and retired in 1996.

You mentioned USCG-Aux. That's neat. I worked for the 9th CG District Boating
Auxiliary division Buffalo, NY back in the early/mid 80's. The USCG Aux are
great people and throw great parties! Wooooo... The stories I could tell! :)

Did anyone (or everyone) in the Coast Guard and USCGAUX receive a Homeland
Security certificate signed by Tom Ridge and Admiral Collins? I am curious
because I was happy to receive one and was wondering how many were sent out!

"Listen to the live broadcast of 'Nautical Talk Radio' with Captain Lou every
Sunday afternoon from 4 - 5 (Eastern Standard Time) on the web at
www.959watd.com or if you are in Boston or Cape Cod set your radio dial to
95.9FM.

My Auxie buddy has a nice shiny new HSA ID card. Does that count? I will have
to ask my ex wife. She is the commodore or whatever you call the fearless
leader of her flotilla. (Md around DC).

FT2 here, back when they put you on a "white one" and sent you to sea.
(1965-71)
I imagine, in retrospect, I was really in the Navy and just didn't know it.
Maybe all those Navy guys I seemed to spend so much time with should have
tipped me off.
