Trained at Little Creek as a rescue boat coxswain for the Coast Guard.
Spent some time with TACRON-22 at Little Creek.
My son was based in Little Creek for 7 years, now a Mustang.Navy rules prevented him from finishing his degree enlisted, so he bailed just about to be made E7, got a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
Went back to Navy degree in hand, “Guarantee me flight school in writing and I’ll come back for OCS.” They did, he is now a Lt. and helo pilot.
Met & married a Marine pilot in flight school, she’s now a Capt. Guess where she’s based?????
Bible in a Year:
Every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
From the spiral staircase to the expansive bedroom, from the hardwood floors to the plush carpeting, from the huge laundry room to the well-organized office, the realtor showed a potential home to the young couple. At every corner they turned, they raved about its beauty: “You’ve picked the best place for us. This house is amazing!” Then the realtor responded with something they thought a bit unusual yet true: “I’ll pass along your compliment to the builder. The one who built the house deserves the praise; not the house itself or the one who shows it off.”
The realtor’s words echo the writer of Hebrews: “The builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself” (3:3). The writer was comparing the faithfulness of Jesus, the Son of God, with the prophet Moses (vv. 1–6). Though Moses was privileged to speak to God face-to-face and to see His form (Numbers 12:8), he was still only “a servant” in the house of God (Hebrews 3:5). Christ as the Creator (1:2, 10) deserves honor as the divine “builder of everything” and as the Son “over God’s house” (3:4, 6). God’s house is His people.
When we serve God faithfully, it’s Jesus the divine builder who deserves the honor. Any praise we, God’s house, receive ultimately belongs to Him.
Reflect & Pray
What has God built into you? What are unique ways you can give honor to Jesus if you’re complimented?
Jesus, You deserve all my praise. May my life and words give You that praise on this day.

My ship and I did about 2 years in and out of Little Creek.
It beat docking @ NOB in Norfolk and driving to and from.
I felt safe there with all of the SEAL teams and our other guys with guns.
My wife became a regular caller and visitor after an 8 hour tour of RN duty. She would call up and find out when our little ship was returning. So, she and several wives often greeted our ship getting back at odd hours.
One time she and a friend handled the docking lines when no one else was handy. We tossed them some gloves and they helped us to dock.
I am an NCIS fan ( the older ones )……..first time I ever heard of Little Creek.

Yesterday at Comanche Lake:
How's everyone doing this morning?
1NCD was decommissioned in 2013 and its mission assumed by Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) where I am currently the Deputy Director for Operations.
Glad you were here! Hope you had a great time. You’re right in my my neighborhood.
We spent five months there when I was in third grade as my dad attended a Staff College.
Fast forward to spring of 2010 when I spent a week in VA Beach (where I spent many summer days as a teenager) doing some outprocessing with my company before heading to Ft. Benning for CRC and on to another mission in Iraq.
I went to Little Creek for updates on my shots and pointed out that my typhoid shot was going to expire in about 75 days. They told me they couldn’t update that one because it had to be 30 days before expiration. I didn’t fight it and went on with my other shots.
Guess what I caught in Baghdad less than three months later? You got it…freakin’ typhoid.
Thank goodness for antibiotic drips.
