Hey when anyone asks what I did I always tell them my awards ect....basically what you did that made a difference. The one award that I recieved that means more to me then any other was this one as written in the award:



Letter Of Commendation

Citation:

For professional achievement in the performance of duty as Boatswain's Mate, while assigned to USS JOHN A. MOORE (FFG-19), in support of Joint Interagency Task Force East, Key West, Florida, from 25 January 2000 to 14 May 2000. During this period, Petty Officer Warda performed his demanding duties in an exemplary and highly professional manner. Demonstrating superior seamanship and boat handling, he safely transported the boarding teams of three U.S Coast Guard detachments to eleven suspected narcotics trafficking vessels, personally cumulating 94 hours of small boat operations. His stalwart efforts resulted in the successful recovery of nine crewmembers from a scuttled narcotics fishing boat and contributed to the successful resupply of a seized fishing vessl, escorting his detachment team during an 800 nautical mile transit of the Pacific Ocean and piloting the Panama Canal as Master Helmsman. Additionally, as Boatswain's Mate of the Watch, he expertly supervised a bridge watch team during the transit of 10,000 miles of ocean and coastal waters, a high-speed-go-fast pursuit and 300 hours of high-intensity flight operations, which contributed to the interdiction of an estimated 11.5 metric tons of cocaine. Petty Officer Warda's dedication to duty and exceptional performance reflected credit upon himself and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Navy.

Signed:
E.J. Barrett
Rear Admiral, United States Navy

It's times like this when I regret not serving. I've always had a strong urge to do it, but family and other priorities kept me out. If I had the financial ability, I would have signed up with the Army 2 months ago. I just can't afford to live on 900 a month. Well, not without filing Bankruptcy.

I agree, not serving is about the only thing I really regret in life.

Thanks to everyone that has. :gr_patrio

ET1 Jason Carlock - United States Coast Guard

Veteran 2004 - Honorable Discharge after 10 years exactly

2 - USCG Achievement Medals
3 - USCG Good Conduct Medals
2 - National Defense Medals

+ Many Ribbons

Was #35 on the list for ETC, but decided to get out instead of waiting the promotion out.

 

[ZR2_S10]

I came into boot camp as an E1 and made E5 in less then 3 years, took the E6 exam like 7 times and it was locked up..... 350+ people in my rate and only advancing 6 first classes each cycle....obviously time in rate are the guys getting promoted first almost every time but if I would have stayed in im sure I would be up for cheif already!

I too went in an E1, and in the CG you 'earn' E2 on graduation of boot camp. When I went through there was no guaranteed schools, so you had to put your name on the A school list. I took about a year and a half to decide on my rate (ET). After A school (Sept 96 - Feb 97) I went to 2 Navy C schools (Secure Comms and IFF, both require a minimum Secret Clearance). Reported to my cutter in June, as an ET3. I made E5 2 years 2 months later, and E6 2 years 2 months after that. I was lucky on my E6 exam, I wrote #1 on the test. I only had 3 award points, <6 years TIS, <2 year TIG. I was the last one to make E6 on that test.

I knew Eric and Craig through Matt Stals. I think Eric still has his 86 coupe when I saw it last year at opening day for Detroit Speed shops.

Small world.

[Uthinkso]

As one of my old shipmates use to say.... "Im not rich, but im not starving!"

I haven't served a day myself, but I'm grateful to those that do and have in order to maintain our way of live and protect our freedoms.

My uncle used to (god rest his soul) say the same thing all the time. "I'm not rich, but I'm not starving!"

My dad had the Grand National and I had a black 83 Capri and a white 88 GT. We worked together painting that car wash when they built it.

Damn, that was such a long time ago...

 

[grr456]

US Army from June 1969 until May 1972 - Viet-Nam from Jan 1970 till Feb 1971. Made Hardstripe E-5 in Jan of 1971. I think everyone made E-5 for just surviving Viet-Nam......
