How many veterans do we have at iboats? Let us know, if you like. At the least tell us what branch, and any additional info you are comfortable with.<br /><br />I was in the Coast Guard from 87 to 94. Stationed in Monterey, CA. Freeport, NY at Jones Beach. and Williamsburg, VA. Lots of great memories! Anybody else stationed at these places during this time?<br /><br />jmarr@native-air.com

Re: Veterans

Hey JB, I was in the last class for training on vacuum tubes at Millington. Went to AV A school there in 75. Don't see much of tubes anymore.

Re: Veterans

Hey there, Butch. I spent a year at Governors Island in '90 at the boat yard. One of the neatest CG stations there ever was. Broke my heart when they sold it. :)

Hey there! A fellow "Coastie"!! :cool: <br /><br />Yeah, GI was okay but they had cockroaches so big you could put them on a leash! :eek: I was on Governors Island from 1980-1983 and have lots of memories. One of the sad memories is the many times I have been IN the World Trade Center. Some of the NY Firemen were actually USCG Reservists and I knew a few of them too. :( <br /><br />Good to hear from you!<br /><br />Butch Ammon
