I served aboard HATCHET 84-87 as MK3/MK2 AEPO
Best duty in my 8 year tour
We worked HARD
And played HARD

OIC Hatchet 86-90, Wonderful Time, Fast three years, Great Times Great People. HSC Lot of work but at least it was constant employment.

OPS/QM2 on Clamp 2000-2003. Didn't really know how good I had it until I left. Them boys on deck were the hardest working guys I'd ever seen...Our AOR had the # 1 aid knockdown rate in Coast Guard....

I Was at your Change of Command
When You took over from BMCS J H
I Was the Hippy MK2 On PT SPENCER ,Great party at the club that day

I read you profile and the name rang a bell. I got to Relieve Jim Holston again on Patoka a few years later then tried to chase him to Chipewa but got Kickapoo instead.

For the record, by relief is the one that designed, or put the wording on that patch... while I was there is said "Witch"

SPUDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was on the CLAMP & we built some lights and ranges, worst knock down rate in the CG I think was the Houston Ship channel. We worked our butts off but we had alot of fun as well. Hope to go back to a WLIC or Rivertender soon.

Don't forget about the KENNEBEC. I know that we weren't a tug and barge, but a WLIC all the same.

1999-2002

I was on the Clamp from 2001 to 04. Best unit ever. Good group of people to work with.
CLAMP 75306

Last I checked the Smilax was a WLIC.

Don't forget the CGC Sledge WLIC-75303
