"I do Jim. For a while we didn't know what was going on. We heard everything thru the grapevine. No one ever said anything officially."
"Please let me know where to get a copy of my Anchor Yearbook...I was in boot camp on July to September of 1974...I was belong to Company 215 and my company commander was MMC Hendrix...thank you."
"As the RTC Orlando Historian, I can confirm what Jon Yim is saying. I have been buying Rudders off sites that are selling them to build our collection as well as accepting scans from shipmates who have theirs. Wadsworth / Josten, none of them saved…"
"Just stopped in to say a remembrance to Chief Barbee. We served together at DATC/FMAG PAC in San Diego from 73-75."
"Jon Yim, thanks for the information on the yearbooks you provided. I was lucky enough to connect with an old boot camp ship mate that had a spare Anchor Book for our company. He had ordered one while in boot camp and they sent him two of them, and…"
"As a retired JO1 that published a few command cruisebooks over the years (The Anchor falls into that category), here's how it works:Getting a replacement copy of boot camp memory book some years down the road isn't much of a high-priority item in…"
"Hi guys. Thanks to everyone who have given me info on our yearbooks. I have contacted Jostens and they say they have no way to find my company book anymore. My Company was 72-369. For 1972 Company 369. If any of you ever run across that yearbook, I…"

"Dave, I think you are right. Where DATC/FMAG was at 32nd street, is where Sima is now. I see some of the vets on here are Sima Sailors. Maybe one of them will know."
"Plus they need to get rid of the photo of the front gate of NTC. That is NOT where DATC/FMAGPAC was. It was at 32nd street!"
"I was at the base in 2005 having had the pleasure of delivering two short 20 foot containers to one of the supply ship docked at 32nd street. I was hard pressed to see where my old office was at with all the changes. Plus in this world of terrorism,…"
"No no no...you are confused JL! The 'best looking" recruits did not go on board the Recruit because "we" were all in the "special" companies, like the flag team, band and choir! After all we were the ones on display all the time! I think they let…"
"Trevor, it had to be something to do with when we went in! I never got on the Recruit either! After Corps school and being at Balboa, they shipped me back to near my home on the East coast! If I remember correctly, I was always being told to forget…"

No worries...glad to be of help!
Hahaha! Oh well! I guess that happenstance came full circle huh?
Just means we gotta find some other members of your company and gettem on here!
Trevor, you can find a number of copies of the Anchor on Ebay. I didn't find your company. But, I did find one from Co. 371. They have it listed as a CD or book. They want stupid money for that one though $85.00?? cray! Here's that item.

What we need to do is get someone else from your company in here! Then if he still has his book, get it scanned and copy the company specific pages!
Hi Trevor:
Yeah, I thought I was going to join the Navy and see the world, or at least serve a tour on ship, but, My administrative scores on the tests were high so ended up in Norfolk, VA on shore duty for 3 years and working for NATO and not the U.S. Navy in budget and finance as SK. Actually was on loan from the Navy to work for NATO. I don't regret my duty or Navy service but thought maybe I would see something in the world other than Norfolk, VA. I even came home every other weekend since my home was just a 5 hour drive from Norfolk.
