I went thru Sampson
during the latter part of 1943. From there I went to Chicago to
attend Aviation Mech school at Navy Pier. From there I went to
the Philadelphia Navy Yard to attend Catapult & Arresting
Gear school. I then was assigned to the USS Prince William CVE
31, an escort carrier until I was discharged in April 1946 from
Lido Beach, LI. Anybody with a similar experience? |

I just became aware of
the websight when reading the newsletter. I think it is a great
idea. I was at Sampson from March 43 to July 43, having caught
the dreaded CAT FEVER and was in the base hospital for 4 weeks
under the care of Dr. Hale and nurse Hardy or it could have been
the other way around. My first company was C124 and after the
hospital stay was C167. From Sampson I went to Fleet Service
School (torpedo at Norfolk, the to the Keyport Naval Torpedo
station for advanced torpedo school. After 2 1/2 months at
Treasure Island I was assigned to the USS Rowe DD564 where I
stayed until being separated from the navy at Sampson in F |

located. I was sent to AMM school at Norman Ok. Then to Aerial
Gunnery school at Whidbey Is. Washington. then to the
So.Pacific. Worked in A Engine Overhaul shop on New Caledonia
and Gwam after 18 months i was sent home on a 30 day leave, the

Just read about the
web-site in latest newsletter, so I thought I would visit. I am
new on computer and am just learning the ropes. If any kid can
do it, so can I. Steve Bull and I were the first two in the brig
on a sunday in July about the 27th and did a survey as to what
had to be done for a museum. Our names are in the first page of
the book. I worked there for three summers until my wife took
ill and am no longer able to devote the time. She is fully
dependent on me for her care. I enjoyed working here with the
other volunteers, and met some really great people. Nav43 MLA |

Great page. The best
way for all of us, to locate and bring into our organizations,
all the former Navy men we served with at Sampson, is to
"LINK" like we have now done. Let's improve and expand
on it. Our Escort Carrier moto is, "One help ones self
best, by helping others." This is why we Escort Carrier
Sailors & Airmen have launched the search to locate all
Navy, Marine and air squadron personnel, who served our country
from 1941 through the Persian Gulf War. The effort has been
launched, grab an oar and pull. Together we will attain greater
success. T.P. |

I visited the museum
today (08/11/99)I enjoyed it very much and it brought back many
memories of my own bootcamp days at great lakes 1963.I forgot
about the sea bag inspection and how we used to lay the gear
out.When I saw all the articles at the museum it really gave me
a chance to show my wife how we did things in the navy. She
called her dad, FRANK POPOWICH, when we returned home to tell
him about it and he said "Why didnt you take me? I was
there in 1943 for bootcamp. We never knew. Well Guess what? I
will be coming back down there soon and I will be bringing dad. |
