There are 176 Life Members of USSVI that "Qualified" in 1959 that have NOT been nominated for the Holland Club. Let me encourage the Base Commander's to check your Base rosters and nominate your eligible Holland Club candidates. Also, anyone who "Qualified' in 1959 and have been a "Regular" Base member for 5 years, is also eligible. |

My advice: drop a hint to your base secretary or membership chair that you're eligible ... don't leave it to chance.
Of course, you're the one who should have a feel for how proactive your particular base poobahs are.
Just sayin'.

Man, I've got to tell you...
We're Boat Sailors... Right?
Six months before my time's come (to be a H/C SubVet)...
I'm going to tell every member of the base wardroom to get my stuff ready ASAP. That's "TELL" them...

As in other organizations, if you wait to be asked, you might be waiting a long time. You EARNED your right to be in the Holland Club IF you fullfilled the requirements. |

Curt, if you qualified in 1959, you are eligible for the Holland Club now.... not in six months. |

I am a member of Razorback Base and life member of USSVI. I was looking at the Razorback site yesterday and discovered a new page listing Holland Club members. There are 68 Holland Club members listed, including to my surprise, me. Interestingly, I am the only one of the 68 that qualified on a nuclear boat. I still haven't had any offical notification. Don't I get a free pass to Disney World? Sammy |

From what I've heard some bases make a ceremony on becoming a member of the Holland Club and others don't do anything. I, for one, think you ought to be, at least, recognized with a pat on the back, given some atta boys and a few free beers. After all getting there was a big part of your life.
Congrats, Sammy!!!

Sammy,
Frank Crawford (Crawdad) I believe, is a member of Razorback Base. He lives in West Fork, AR. I know he is well past 50 years eligibility. Is he a HC member? (We rode the 403 boat together in early '60's).
Steamboat sends
PS. Belay above post. I just looked up Razorback website and saw Cradad listed as HC member.
Bravo Zulu, Crawdaddy, OLD Shipmate!!

Roger Gil. It was his comment that he "had only six months to go" that led me to make the post. |

At the least you should get a frame-able HC certificate and an HC patch for your vest.
This would apply to any base! Contact your base secretary or membership chair.
