Here is a website on Navy frogmen from WWII to present. Couldn't find anything about a 44th navy division. To find out more try the dept. of the navy, see 2nd link.

Michael is right down to the letter  except it is phrased "failure to adapt" And it is classified as a "general discharge" I have arrested the AWOL soldiers and escorted the same soldiers when they clear and leave. (Almost become a counselor to some of them) Also bear in mind that 80% of the ones I dealt with regetted getting chaptered out. FYI: The 180 days is irrelevent.

I love that mini-series. I watch at least once a year. Lt. Dike was a horrible leader...I think the name, "Foxhole Norman" means that he commanded his troops from a safe distance. He never was around to really lead and certainly not to support his men. I wonder how many lives would've been saved if Lipman was in charge from the git go.

You realize you don't have any conception of what you're babbling on about. I can tell that you haven't a clue as to military strategy. Bet you weren't even in the Coast Guard.\nForget it pal. You strike me as the type who'd take a division full of infantry and armor and run them straight into the gates of hell without any idea what kind of terrain, enemy strength, pending weather conditions and access to supply lines.\nIt was good knowing your Herr Oberstrumfuher.....can I have your boots and hat when you're gone?

Try your local base, if you don't have a local base go to the VFW. \nThe VFW can help you locate him if you know his name and rank.

Do a google search for the Division he was in. Many of them have their own web pages and most of them if not all have associations for veterans of that Division. You can look at those and hopefully find what you are looking for or a contact person who can tell you how to find it.\n I think that you have a great idea and your Father will love it if you can find one.\n You are correct in that the books you seek are fairly rare. They are also highly sought after collectors items. You might try a search on eBay or www.addall.com (a book search site) under the used & rare book section.\n Hope this helps. Good luck with your quest.

I will give you an eyewitness statement. First, I'm not from Texas (I'm a Tar Heel!!! - GO NC!!), second I'm not in the National Guard, I'm active duty. Now the account, I served with an active duty battalion that was assigned 2 National Guard companies - one was from Kansas and one was from Texas. They were truck companies, and both saw heavy action. On a side note, I found both units to be extremely professional in their duties. Neither shirked from any mission assigned to them and had an amazing "Can Do" attitude. If I had any negative comments about the Guard units I have served with - they are minor. I found they had a bit of a height/weight and PT shortcoming, but they more than made up for that with their Mission First attitude. My BC had a board in his office/tent with a collection of all the Guard patches of units we had run into over there. I don't recall a single state missing from his board - we even had a couple territory patches (Guam and PR). So whoever posted that on a Yahoo Board is simply giving into conspiracy BS and once again, as they almost always seem to be - are yapping away and have NEVER spent a day. Isn't it curious how the folks who seem to to come up with this crap have a mysterious lack of service to go along with their tripe?

Allow me to sum it up this way:  \n\n"Oonder schneider vooster booten!"\n\n...Aren't you glad you speak English today?  You can thank WWII.

Absolutely! As for the 1946 vs. 1959 thing, he may have been classified in-active Reserve due to his training.\n\nContact the local VA clinic in your area. I know treatment probably varies from area to area, but my father, also a Navy Vet of WWII has received excellent care. I think you may also be surprised how many benefits are available to him. \n\nYou may also want to contact your local VFW Post. There will be plenty of Vets there that would be proud to walk you through the process or get you in contact with the right people if you're having trouble. \n\nTell him we thank him for his service.
