TEDD CADD USAF, 1969 - 1976, Photo Intelligence, Staff Sergeant, Saigon, Vietnam 1972 – 1973, (target identification mostly). Also stationed in Denver, Colorado; Newport News, Virginia; Austin, Texas; and Udon Thani, Thailand. USCGR 1983 – 2001. I was a marine casualty investigator, the first responder to marine casualties (accidents) upstream of Bonneville dam. I got to write the first container inspection program for Port of Seattle (HAZMAT issues). I served as an ICS (Incident Command System) Planning Officer and was selected to present a paper to a national seminar on the subject. I was also the Senior Contingency Planning Officer for MSO Portland, OR for the region Oregon, South West Washington, Eastern Washington, Idaho and part of Montana. One of the things I loved about the USCGR was that they used us for real work. When the reservists came aboard each month, the active duty people took the weekend off. (I actually averaged 2 weekends a month and four weeks a year.) We did the ship inspections, (including what are called the SIV—special interest vessels like Russian and North Korean ones). The contingency plans were great work to be involved in. They were plans for responding to any natural or man-made disaster in the area of responsibility. We had to coordinate with literally dozens of agencies (local, state, county, native American, Federal and private response organizations and businesses of any kind that were in the disaster). It was a real eye-opener as to the complexity of getting such diverse operating systems to work together. I retired in 2001 after 25 years of service with the rank of Lieutenant Commander.

(I had been going to night school since I was in the Army and had recently gotten my BA/AA at the same time from St. Martin’s college and an MA one year later, before I applied for the commission.)
