I apologize for being so terribly lax about updating everyone's contact info. If you want me to hang onto that duty, let me know and I promise I'll do better. Or would it be better if we left it to the Alumni Association ... or someone else who's willing to volunteer?
The Deployable
Operations Group aligns all Coast Guard deployable, specialized forces
under a single, unified command headed by a Rear Admiral Thomas F. Atkin. Yeah, that Tom Atkin ... the one who was a Lieutenant when we showed up as swabs back in 1990. Man, I feel old.
OK, so it's a hokey government video, but the potential for good video footage later on down the road is there.
The class forum works well enough for quick announcements and passing news, it's true. But unfortunately, many of us aren't members of the Alumni Association and we miss out on the class notes in every issue of The Bulletin. I don't even know for certain who our class correspondents are (Matt Fay?) nor have I read their work in years.
I think it'd be useful to republish the class notes here, along with more stuff as we get bright ideas (like Russ Bowen's thesis on CG Special Ops forces, or the latest photos). The format's a lot friendlier than the discussion board-style forum. Hey, it's the 21st century, right? Blogs are now more familiar than bulletin boards. I can very easily set any classmate or spouse up with an author account here, and I'll handle the housekeeping chores.
Who's interested in giving it a whirl? Leave a comment and let everybody know what you think.
