I was not a Thomaston crew member. (Navy airdale from 1961 to 1965 at NAS North Island & Mirimar). I am a retired Veterans Benefits Counselor still finding time to assist veterans with VA claims for possible service related health issues. The VA and I ( and a lot of others) do not see eye to eye on the issue of AO exposure to Navy personel. Two former Thomaston crew members (that I am personally aware of) have died of diabetes related health problems, however, since we cannot substantiate the "boots on the ground" requirement of the VA, the widow is unable to claim VA benefits. What are the chances that any crew members went ashore or sailed upriver as part of the "Brown Water" Navy ?

Happy New Year! We love this website. It has been very helpful for our members. Also, our members tell us that our website is the best place for veterans to find information about compensation, pension and benefits for veterans. We have been told that VSOs now recommend that veterans visit our website first before filing a claim. Veterans learn about the process, who to see, where to go, and how to maximize their disability claims. Visit today!

I was on the ship from Dec. 81 to decommissioning. It was the best and worst time of my life. Two west-pacs, a tiger cruise and a trip to Oregon and Washington state stand out. Came on board an E2 made E3 three times and got out an E1! Chief Cain and HT1 Kyllo I WILL find you weasels one of these days, I'm not scared of you anymore! I am sending out emails to everyone and hope that we can all get together sometime.

I was on board the Thomaston from early 66 (maybe late 65)to Aug 68.
Anybody know the whereabouts of Ralph Courter, Terry Bigler, LeRoy Hayden, Blackjack, Bruce Woolridge, Edward Smoke. I wonder about two guys Gorman and Gomez that were in my division that transferred to swift boats.
I have a Facebook page.
