An air of anticipa- tion grew for many of the visitors, some who had never been to the site of the Coast Guard’s only boot camp, and for those who had not been there in decades. Coast Guard personnel distinguished between the CGCVA visitors and arriving parents and friends of the graduating recruit companies, directing each to specific parking locations. From there it was on to the Harborview Lounge for registration, refreshments and introductions. Mini-Reunion coordinators PNP Jack Campbell, Trustee Herb Weinstein and Terry Lee welcomed every- one and directed them to the Registration Desk, ably Some of the more than 100 CGCVA members and guests fill the “manned” by Nancy Burke, Shirley Ramsey, ‘Bubs’ grandstands to watch recruit graduation exercises at USCG Tipling and Mare Swift.

The U.S. Navy is adapting by continuing its blue-water dominance while simultaneously building brown-water ca- pabilities. Unmanned systems, such as unmanned airborne drones, are proving piv- otal in facing new battlefield challenges. Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) are emerging as the Navy's seaborne equivalent of the Air Force's drones. Representing a low-end disruptive technology relative to traditional shipborne operations, UUVs are becoming capable of taking on increasingly complex roles, tipping the scales of battlefield entropy. They improve mission outcomes and operate for a fraction of the cost of traditional operations.

  • Navy RPA Comments- Through 12/18/2020
    Navy RPA Comments- through 12/18/2020 I object to the Navy’s proposal to use our State Parks for training. There are serious problems with the proposal. Allowing the Navy to use our State Parks for training would further militarize our society, taking over a large number of parks (29) for military training. We use our parks for peace, solitude, getting back to nature, getting in tune with our family and ourselves. There is no need to use these spaces. Stop, just stop. This is a terrible idea. I firmly object. This is wrong. Stop.1 The Navy has and continues to destroy our state and national parks, our homes, environment, wildlife and communities with toxic jet noise and war games. Our State Parks are for us the Citizens, not military war games. Just say no to the Bullish Toxic Navy.2 I OBJECT to the Navy’s proposal to use our State Parks for training! There are serious problems with the proposal. Allowing the Navy to use our State Parks for training would further militarize our society, taking over a large number of parks (29) for military training. One of the key responsibilities for civil authorities is to tell the military when enough is enough. Just say NO to using public parks for military training!3 In these days of great division in our civil society, we don't need stealthy men in camo uniforms toting toy guns around our State and County Parks. People frequent parks to escape tension, not to encounter more. Keep the Navy commando training out of our parks!4 Please don’t let the military train in our parks.5 I am vehemently opposed to allowing military training in our 29 public parks.

  • Thunder Chickens Take Osprey To
    Fort Worth, Texas November 2007, Issue 20 OOHRAH! Thunder Chickens take Osprey to war The V-22 Osprey is now in service defending our country after a quarter century of research and development – and a great deal of work. Ten MV-22s from Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 263 (VMM-263) arrived in Iraq in early October. Known as the “Thunder Chickens,” they are stationed at Al Asad Air Base west of Baghdad. “It has been a long time coming,” said Art Gravley, the chief Bell engineer for the V-22. “With all the different problems we’ve had in the program in terms of threats of cancellation and accidents, it’s such a satisfying thing to get to this point.” The deployment means a great deal to those who have had their hands in the tiltrotor, many of them for years. For Bell, creating the Osprey is a team effort. Large sections of the aircraft, particularly the wings, are constructed at the Advanced TOP: Marines of VMM-263 gather in front of an Osprey at Al Asad Air Base, Iraq.
