Hi Angel,
I just found this post and it has brought back so many memories! I went to BC in Sept. of 2000. They had gone back to integrated divisions by the time I was in. We shared a compartment with our sister division and when we had to “integrate” for the day our Chief would shout “541 DISINTEGRATE!” My job was Ship-Staff Yeoman so I can relate to giving yourself the “good” jobs. I never stood a night watch after we became senior division. Ship-Staff got me out of most of everything my division did which was nice in a way. The only draw-back was the first time I saw the confidence course was during Battle Stations and I only had 45 mins of Pass and Review practice while the rest had about 45 hours of it. And our firearm training was a joke. We shot broken M16’s from the Marines with lasers.
Sorry to ramble, it just brought back so many memories.
God bless
Melissa

Karen,

I don’t know how to get copies of the Rudder. I’d suggest searching the internet using your company number, year of graduation, and Rudder. You might find someone who has a copy they are willing to sell.

Good morning Angel,

How may I get a copy of my (or any) Rudder? There are a lot of veterans asking me that question?

By the way, love your blog…the pix are the best.

Thanks for your time.

Sincerely,

Karen.
