The Tybee was not extended in lenght. It was suppose to be but they halted it before she was cut in to. The Cutter came out of the Baltimore last month and headed back to Woods Hole for her recommisioning.

I figured that the “Tybee” wasn’t one of the “extended 110-footers”. Last I heard they were basically laid-up awaiting a dispostion, but they were basically unseaworthy.

As I said, my friend’s son was an exec on 1 of the 110 footers while it was undergoing extension work down in Baltimore. A real disaster according to him. His Mom & Dad live just south of York (PA), so he got to live at the “Mom & Pop Hilton” while stationed in Baltimore.

Yaeh it nice when they are close to home. We are in Northern Virginia, so he got to come home a few times...We didn’t see much of him, he has a girl friend at Geo. Mason.

Thanking him for his service. Now all you USGC folks what does WAGB stand for I know its for icebreakers but what are the words shorthand for?

[FlatLandBeer]

My son and a buddy of his from boot camp just earned their Cutterman badges. He working hark to strike for boatswain’s mate. He wants to get qualified for law enforcement. The Tybee is doing the most boarding in the district. He suppose to go to Boarding Team School next week up there at the Air Station.

Your son will love it. My son is glad he didn’t go to an AIDS TO NAVAGATION Cutter.

How old is your son?
