Zf315. This is a very unique picture of a Coast Guard Boatswains Mate Chief (BMC), attending to the lighthouse, and taking care of much of his own chow by milking his cow. I can relate to that, I was a Boatswains Mate in the Navy. This picture was also sent by my friend Roger Davis. The picture came from one of the Naval Institute Publications. As I study WWII I was amazed to learn how many ships in WWII were manned by the Coast Guard. In Viet Nam, they impressed me too with their Patrol boats, they were bigger and better than the Navy ones and their crews were more experienced. Of course we kidded them as Shallow Water Navy or the Canoe Club Sailors.
