Crow,

Thanks for the reply, things have changed today for the better as we have the smartest groups of in coming recruits and OC'S ever. The mentoring process in place sets folks up to succeed and the opportunities are there for the taking. Today in my office we have several youg mena dn women attending college during the evening reaping the benefits after a tour at sea. I wish I did the same but have been very busy between owning a charterboat and raising two teenagers with one headed off to Mass Maritime next year. What type of work do you do now, I often wonder what the future after CG will bring into my life? A good friend of mine was the last CO of Sta Rockaway when it closed. I remember going over there when we would take the tug to Mullers Shipyard down by King Plaza.

Have a great day and keep in touch.

Respectfully,

Dave Waldrip
