| I was an Operations Specialist for FSSC Det 1 deployed to Amchitka from 1999 - 1992 (4 months on 4 months off). My first deployment was in the Fire Dept. Just wanted to say hi to anyone that was there during that period. |

| My father, Joseph Marquette was a Seabee. I have heared a story of him opening a package of stinky cheese on a submarine in the Aleutian and having to finish the package "on deck". I also have a cribage board made made out of whale bone that was his. The word Amchitka was writen on it. I know he was also working on helping to make Guam Harbor. He died forty three years ago and I would like to know more about his servise carrer. I just learned a little about the island (war) hist. chanel |

| My father SSGT Donald Meier was on Amchitka for most of WWII. He was on the west end in the Early Warning Unit. Anyone run into him or heard of him? He passed away in 1991. |

I was USNavy stationed on Amchitka Island from late 1942 until late summer 1944. When I arrived there we slept in tents for the first 8 months, no floor, pot belly stoves for heat==I was stationed at the end of the bomber strip as it was being built and walked a mile for my meals ==by the time i left the island things had improved greatly==

| Was stationed on Amchitka from 1989-1992 with USN's Fleet Surveillance Support Command Detachment 1. Loved every minute of my tour there and dream of going back. Learned many things about nature and myself during time there--Thanks. |

| My Father was stationed there during WWII - here is one of the excerpts from his book: "Shortly after we had everything working well, Lt. Col. Hebert came to our tent and asked if he could move in with us. We were the only Air Corps people on the island, so he wanted to stay with us until his quarters were set up at the main base. Hebert was the appointed commander of the Amchitka Air Base. We could hardly turn down his request." |

| My father, Lt. Campbell Wallace Ansley (1921-2001) was stationed in Amchitka - outpost duty from sometime after April 1944-late winter 1945. I think first his battalion was at an outpost in Adak for 9 months (July 43-April44) interested in photos or info from others stationed at this time. Is there a WWII museum with info from this period in either Juneau, Skagway or Ketchikan? We are taking my mother there June1-June8 with family to see Alaska and "where Daddy was" in WWII. |
