Entry: 81389 USS BOLSTER (ARS-38)	FATHER SERVED FROM 51-55
HENRY BACA wrote on December 20, 2011 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: ARMY VETERAN Comments: My father is Pete Baca. He was on the Bolster from 51-55. He often tells me stories of what he did or saw. The one we talk about the most is why he hates salmon, one time the ship came across schools of salmon ready to run upstream the guys in the machine shop made some hooks and they went to town snagging. They caught so much they ate it all the time. He said he was so sick of it that at night when on KP they would throw some overboard to use it up faster. Another story is when on KP he had just peeled/cleaned a bunch of vegetables to make soup or stew. They were in a pot, the ship bounced on a wave and the pot slid and dumped into the sink full of dirty wash water. The cook looked at him and asked you gonna peel some more, he used his hand and put the veggies back in the pot. At chow time he told his buddies dont eat the soup tonight. lol feel free to e mail if you recognize his name. His best fiend on the ship was also from Albuquerque, Ervy Jackson.

SCOTT TROGDON wrote on June 25, 2008 City and State: BAKERSFIELD CA Unit: USS BOLSTER ARS-38 Service or Relationship: NAVY VETERAN Comments: She needs our help! Bruce Martens of the Fleet Tug Museum has been working over the past five years to get the Bolster released from mothballs to become a museum piece. He is desperately seeking sponsorships for her restoration and has been lobbying the government to save her. Please visit his website, www.fleettugmuseum.com for more info. Bolster was slated for destruction this past January and Bruce was able to get her a stay of execution for now, but the clock is still ticking. If there are any of you out there that may have a connection to request restoration sponsorships, please do all you can. Once she is gone, she is gone. From what I've read on these posts, she has left us all with some great memories and relationships. It's time to pay her back. Keywords: Bolster ARS-38

NEIL HANSEN wrote on December 25, 2003 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: INTERESTED PERSON Comments: BOLSTER was my first ship - after completing diving officer training and surface warfare officer school, I served on her from November 1980 to November 1982 - first as Communications Officer, then as Operations Officer. I was already headed that way, but the experience completed my conversion to the inverterate "tug-thug" that I remain today. I well remember the tutelage I received from the wardroom - particularly Bosun (LT) Don Dunbar and Chief Engineer (LT) Ed Kruk - and from the chiefs and petty officers of Ops Dept. A single WESTPAC showed me the wonders of Subic Bay, Hong Kong, Guam, and Chinhae Korea. I made my deepest dive on air (190 ft) in the process of recovering USS THOMASTON's 22,000 lb anchor from the clutches of truly massive coral heads. All in all, two years well spent. I transfered to MDSU-1 the day BOLSTER departed Pearl Harbor for change of homeport to Long Beach CA, and transfer to the Naval Reserve Fleet - I cast of line No 2 from the pier and saluted smartly as I bid her farewell. I remember fondly my days and shipmates on BOLSTER, truly a grand old lady. Neil Hansen Manama Bahrain Keywords: BOLSTER, ARS 38, Pearl Harbor
