Most of us made it to another year,which is rewarding and a blessing.Don't see many names in the questbook I remember but I showed movies to all who were aboard during the time I was. Remember, don't give up your rights, you wont get them back. Message Number: 173 - Saturday, January 7, 2012 15:29:48 EST - United States

Thanks for having and keeping this web site for those who served on the USS Arlington. I have great memories of my time on board. I have also gone through the crossong cermony enroute to Austrailia for R&R and made the transition from polywog to Shellback on May 16, 1968. My card is signed by the ships Captain Utegaard and LCDR Al Lipke who was in charge of the Engineering Department at the time.

I was on of the last to leave on that last day. Anyone know what happened to Pat Watts, or Ross, or Jackson, or Vanicki, or Hanson. I still have pictures of the MOON SHOT party. Message Number: 168 - Sunday, December 11, 2011 20:41:23 EST - United States
Caught the Arlington in Subic Bay, had been on the Tioga County LST 1158 on the Mekong Delta with the Mobile Riverine Force.I really enjoyed duty on the Arlington,had a lot of good friends.I remember WO Lynch who signed the roster. I heard him say one time during training "I would rather go to GQ than F---." The Pueblo incident was memorable for me, I had a friend from the Tioga County on there,Doug Scarborough who passed away in 1970 not too long after their release. I wish we could have done more.I left the Arlington in Nov 68,went aboard the Uss Whetston LSD 27 until I Got out of the navy in April 69.If anyone remembers me and wants to exchange sea stories,shoot me an email Message Number: 167 - Wednesday, November 30, 2011 18:36:15 EST - United States
My first ship out of A school. Served sweitchboard watch in boiler room often 120 degrees.I was also med-evacuated 2 times to Guam and if you've never gone through Guam transit you've not missed much. Those of you with fond memories don't remember the pain. On the plus side 2 apollo missions, President Nixon's visit, and changing light bulbs on top of the Antenna's were exciting. From Arlington to USS Page County (short trip back to Vietnam under tow)and finally on the USS Tawasa - ATF92. The Tawasa was great duty, small crew and never far from a port somewhere (usually Vietnam, Adak Alaska, San Diego or Subic Bay). I'd love to hear from the guy who dropped the armored hatch on my hand when we had the fire in the aft emergency diesel room. You got me out of some rough duty and put me on some interesting assignments - total forgiveness.
