the information about contamination with Dioxin at Treasure Island Navy Base is of serious concern. The majority of Vietnam era USN sailors sent overseas to the Far East, 7th Fleet, and Vietnam were routed via Treasure Island. A large number of those returning from Vietnam and the Far East were also outprocessed for Discharge/Seperation at Treasure Island. Many of the sailors may have attended at least the Fire Fighting School, one of the Dioxin contaminated sites at T.I.

Hello Ship Mates,
between 1967 and 1971, does anyone remember training for Shipboard Hazard and Defense(SHAD)?
Does anyone remember training with the USS Thomas off the coast of Sanfrancisco about 50 miles west?
Does anyone remember the trip to Hawaii and running into a typhoon about a 1000 miles out? I believe two were injured on that trip.
I read someone remembered the early morning trip chasing the Russian spy ship home. It was north tho. Almost to Russia. We fueled at Manchester fuel station on the way back. There was another time when a trip to Acapulco was suddenly canceled.

my father Ellsworth Bassett served on the Twining I believe in Korea. I grew up with a picture of the ship on my wall. Does anyone know my father or had served with him? He passed away in 1980. Brad Bassett or bradbsstt@yahoo.com

My grandfather (Kenneth Elve) served onboard the Twining from 1943-1946, and recently passed away. I was wondering if anyone served with him? If so could you e-mail me with any stories or things you remember about him? hmetse@sbcglobal.net
Thank You,
Todd Elve

I am searching for Anthony Pine. He was stationed at Treasure Island and working in communications. He gave my grandmother a pea whistle with his name engraved on it. He would hang out with friends at the Annex Bar where he met my grandmother. Please contact me at smcaskey@hotmail.com. We need some medical information for family members and we would love to get to know him. Thank You

My father served on the Twining during WWII. His name was Edward Baslik, Fireman First Class. If anyone served with him please e-mail me at 379pete@verizon.net. I would like to hear some stories and history.
                                               Thank you,

Hello everyone. I served aboard the USS Twining from 1952-1956. I was a machinest mate in the forward engine room. Some of my shipmates were Bill Norrell, Johnny Inman, Gene Morris, Jack McGloughlin and I am trying to re-connect with some of my shipmates. If you are one of the guys I've listed or were on the ship during this same time, please send a note to my email address. I'd love to discuss old times and catchup on some scuttlebutt. I have just happened upon some of my old pictures of the ship and members of the crew and can provide some scanned ones to you if you are interested. My daughter monitors email for me through her email address at karend4arbonne@aol.com I hope to hear from someone from this timeframe. Wallace Davis

Hello everyone. My father, William O. Pollett Jr.(Bill), was on the Twining from 1953-1954. I am trying to find some of his crew mates. My father isn't in the best of health and I would like to do something for him that would make him feel better. If any one has any information on where I can find a roster or if you know someone that was aboard at the same time or if you were aboard at that time and remember him please contact me at Rancie.Auger@dot.state.ga.us or at rancieb@yahoo.com. Thank you so much everyone.

I was a fireman when you and I was on the Twining. You were a chief. Then one day in VA beach Va we crossed paths that was many years ago. I'm now 73 and live in VA up in the mountains.We love it here. I hope you get this note and respond to it. Ron

Does anyone remember me. I worked in the forward engine room. My e-mail address is conn1@plateautel.net.

Hi Guys, I was one of those Sea Cadets that came on board on the 3rd weekend when it was at TI. I was there 1964-1968...ages 14 - 17 years old. I was a hospital corpsman. I received my training at Corpsman School in San Diego in 1964. The Reserve Chief HC was John Runcie who, unfortunately, passed away last December. The Dr. was John Raisbeck (an orthepedic surgeon in SF.) I was the kid that gave you all your annual shots (tetanus, typhoid, smallpox) every year. I also slept in sick bay and was woken up all night from you guys requesting APC's and other things. I'd love to be in San Diego for the reunion but no guarantees. I don't smoke now but remember the $.90 cartons of cigaretts? Also I thought the food was great. Remember those breakfasts!

I was on the Twining late 1966 through April 1967. I arrived with my friend Jim Doty (from Floridia) and we ended our service when we departed from the Twining. Anyone remember me? Bob Crawford, my friend, was also on the Twining, leaving 2/68.

For any interested parties, my e-mail address is: sandybarnes007@comcast.net

Hi! Welcome to the new Twining message board. The time for the Twining 2006 Reunion in San Diego is quickly approaching and there are still many commitments to be made. It would be a great help to know who is and is NOT planning on being in San Diego in October. Eddie Murphy at twiningreunion@yahoo.com would like to like to hear about your reunion intentions, Thanks.
 Feel free to use this board to keep in touch with your old shipmates.
