This is Dan when he graduated from the U.S. Coast Guard Recruit Training Center "Boot Camp", Cape May, New Jersey. He graduated in September 1989. He went to the USCGC Anacapa out of boot camp. He became part of the commissioning crew. He was sent to Louisiana to prepare the ship for commissioning and was able to bring the boat around the Panama Canal and North to Alaska in late 1989. What an incredible way to start his Coast Guard career! |
