Hi Frank,
I just found out that Harry Tindall Passed away on January 20, 2008. I do not have any other info. I am in Nevada with the Grandkids and can't figure out how to send out from my address book.
Will you please forward this on the guys. I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Susie
Terry,
I think it takes a Bosun Mate, not an ET, to master the art of coffee brewing. Why just look what a grand job Dad Warren did running the coffee mess the final six-months he was in the Navy!
Hoo Yah!

I learned a lot from Harry, but was unable to man the coffee mess. When I was due to get out in 1968, it was traditional to spend the last week taking care of the coffee mess. Now I didn't and still don't drink coffee so I tried to follow Harry's instructions closely knowing that coffee was a very big deal to most of the Team.
I brewed up my first batch on my own and Harry came by to inspect. He took a sip, tasted it carefully, and told me "You know you can't make it too strong. If a man wants it a little weaker, he can always add hot water."
I said "Aye Aye Chief", and the next morning added a couple extra measures to the coffee pot. Harry came by to inspect, sipped the coffee, and got a very sour look on his face. After a bit he said, "Fowler, don't bother with the coffee from now on." And my internship at the coffee locker came to an end.

Re: Another Icon done gone
Harry broke in many young frogs when they first came into the team; They learned what the Frogs were all about. Harry was the TEAM ELEVEN Master at Arms for many years and kept the team running like a well oiled machine. You could set your watch on when he would arrive in the morning and make sure the coffee was brewing. He reserved the weekends for washing his car and mowing his lawn--He was a perfectionist and passed these traits on to the men. He was one of the best examples of a "TRUE FROG" that you could find. Back in 1957 Harry was one of Two BM-s to make Chief in the entire USN. GOD BLESS HIM -

RIP Harry……………the first Master Chief I ever saw. He was all about being a good Frog, PT, running, sunning, volley ball and gardening. He started many young Frogs on landscaping careers. It looks like he and Doc Williams passed on the same day. A sad day for all Frogs and
SEALs.

Doc Rio's NOTE:
Thank you CDR Marcinko aka:
"Demo Dick" then aka: Rogue Warrior.

click on photo for some of his books.
ROGUE WARRIOR: "Deplaning for his first combat assignment, he writes, he inhaled deeply and "knew instantly that I was going to like Vietnam a whole lot." He revels in "the wonderful lethal odor of cordite wafting over me" and tells us that after one particularly hairy action, "I dreamt of warm women and cold beer."

We have a ass hole in our DAV post getting Compensation for PTSD-- he was a seaman aboard a ship in the far east and a Russian plane was seen flying within eyesight of his ship. He says he still has bad dreams because of the incident. They are considering giving the Purple Heart for PTSD which will open up another can of worms, it will take funds from other areas where they are really needed- and will degrade the Purple Heart to a so what status If everyone were honest and above board in their actions and thoughts that would be one thing but too many people lie through their ass attempting to gain compensation for something that never happened which makes it even more difficult for men with real injuries to obtain what is justly due them. Guys with real PTSD get compensation and help anyway Mostly Army guys Why do some think they should have the Purple Heart? Back when UDT training was what it was and Tom Blais and Chuck Newell were training instructors. Every man they trained could claim PTS after training but never would ever do it. I am telling you for real if TB or CN ever looked into your face and saw fear caused by the training you would wish you were dead because they would Give you some personal instruction. If you got through that the PTSD would have never mattered and you would never ever get it because you had already had it and never wanted any of it again. The thing about their personal instruction is that those who got it behind them and stuck it out could always be relied on to never quit or be effected by tough times-- When Blais would get pissed and his face turned red and his eyes dilated and his teeth clenched then he would smile. You knew you were in for something you never dreamed of happening to your little self. There was one guy in my class the got crossed up with TB someway and when he realized it he ran away, went over the hill, hauled ass. and we never saw him again--and at the time I couldn't blame him-- we all knew he was going to be dead meat and if he came through it he would always be demented. We had a another guy in my class who had four years service and was a seaman (E3 if you don't remember). this guy had been stationed on Naval Air bases and had always worked in the gym and weight room, when he went aboard a carrier he took care of the weight room and ran around the flight deck. To look at him you would think he was Charles Atlas. This guy got crossed up with CN and for a couple of day survived but one day Newell walked up to him and told him he was going to run him to death--This guy was no push over either and the next run we were on he knew what was coming up and faked a pass out, We had just had some class on physiology and the word medulla oblongota (medulla)was mentioned, anyway when they brought him around he told them his medulla oblongota was swollen up and he couldn't breathe. Blais and Newell and Wadell went high order then made some of the guys drag him out into the surf and then made the whole class run over him--They said if anyone that didn't get a Boon Doctor on his ass they would wish they had, and they meant it too! We never saw this guy again. The Ambulance came and hauled him away then they ran us down the beach and up down ever sand dune until there were guys strung out for miles-- then the Jeep got between the pack and the stragglers and that night the stragglers were kept up squat jumping until muster the next morning. Once you got in deep like that it made every day harder and harder until there was nothing left, you could only hope for a week end so you could recover well enough to make it through the next week. Just sharing memories--- Fred Miller Webmaster's NOTE: He is one of my best friends. Fred was WIA in 'nam. He was shot through the femur of one of his legs and damn near lost it. He was medically discharged. He rehabilitated himself while a civilian, and although he had one leg shorter than the other one attempted to rejoin the Navy and was declined. The U.S.Army accepted him and he retired as a Major. He was the foremost knowlegable weapons officer in the USA and is now a Gunsmith in Iowa.

"Roy Boehm (1st SEAL) Said That"
To Doc Rio, I will not comment on the amount of incoming each of the people you have mentioned have seen. I would not recognize delayed Stress Syndrome; if I fell over it, so far from what I have observed if you cry and need mommy's comfort and protection, can't find a job, can't hold a job, suck on drugs, and dive under the couch when a car backfires your lazy ass was lying on while holding a can of kickapoo joy juice as a pacifier.This is a good indicator that you have not been in combat and have stolen Valor, and defaced a true Man-O-Warsman. As a veterans employment representative for the State of Florida I found the best cure for their ailment to be the exposure of their DD 240. assisted by cutting off their unemployment compensation. Just a little known fact about my post service life.
It was the Pompano Florida office for about ten years.

Your Pad is ready,Freddy
Composed especially for Erasmo Riojas,
on 06/03/07 by Thomas E. Blais
As said last night at eleven
You called while I was in heaven
Still, I was not in the least upset
Yet, a rhyme or two I could not beget.
I was delighted to hear your tone
As it travled from phone to phone
your words were calm and nice
Not designed to entrap or intice.
You refered to a, perhaps ethos affair
Were you serious; are we going there
My home would have to be a fort
To entertain such an exotic sport.,
What the hell, why not change our luck
We will use my beat up old truck
Driving into the devil's black night
Our chant may stimulate a grand fight.
Of course this ditty was written in jest
But, the words, no less, straight from the vest.
I'll look after you team mate; never fear
Your welcomed visit is fully secure.

By all accounts, Scott Helvenston (SEAL), who joined Blackwater in March 2004, was well
prepared for security work. He had been a Navy SEAL instructor and was a world
class athlete. But he was in debt and Blackwater's pay -- about $600 a day --
was a chief reason for signing on for a two-month contract. He told a friend he
expected to be guarding Paul Bremer, head of the Coalition Provisional
Authority. But he never met Bremer. Blackwater had a new contract with a
catering company, ESS, and they were scrambling to find new guards.

U.S. Naval Academy and former platoon commander of SEAL Team One, conducted one
of the only successful POW rescues of the Vietnam War. He later served as a

his duties as senior serving reserve SEAL officer. This is his fourth novel.
Jeffrey
Allen Lucas. Electronics Technician First Class, U.S. Navy (SEAL).
Born 17th September,1971, killed in action June 28,2005 in
Afghanistan. While on a mission to rescue 4 Navy SEALS who were
surrounded and under intense enemy fire, members of the Army Special
Forces, SEAL Delivery Team One, and SEAL Team 10's task was to
remove the trapped SEALS from danger. An enemy RPG struck the rescue
helicopter killing all 16 on board. Three SEALs on the ground died
and one SEAL, was wounded and was rescued. To Jeff, this mission was
a success, although it cost him his life, it saved the life of a
brother SEAL. Ever since the 4th Grade Jeff believed he would become
a SEAL, because they were the best. To his credit and memory he
achieved this goal graduating from Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL
class 191 in January 1994. The news of Jeff;s death struck hard in
the small communities of Corbett and Aims, Oregon where he went to
school and lived until graduation from High School. I knew him since
he was a child, growing up to be a marksman by shooting mice with a
BB gun. Practicing RECON by sneeking into Trout Creek Bible Camp,
and making away with some campers candy. Dedication, determination,
a sense of humor, that we all enjoyed and miss. He loved Golf, but I
was told he was the worst golfer there ever was, but that was his
game. With 10 years as a Navy SEAL, Jeff left this world to be with
the Almighty, who needed a good man, husband, father, son and
grandson.
