I checked out this site for my Dad, Edward R Bell who served as an instructor at Sampson in '43. I was hoping to find a link to the Sampson snowbird group that meets annually in Englewood, Florida. My Dad is looking for someone going to the reunion on March 20, who lives in the Lee County area and would like to ride with him. Hope you can help! I was able to take Dad to see the museum in August of 99 and he told me the story of his adventure in the brig. It was great. Thanks for making the site available. It is so important to remember the past. Thanks. Candie Bell Roberts

Dad was a trainee in the winter of 1943. He spoke humorously about the basic training "glitches" in cold weather. Despite being from Ohio with its cold weather, Dad thought someone must have been off their trolley to stage the outdoor phase of training at Sampson. With WWII on and as a draftee he had little choice.

Boot camp G-525 Dec,43-Feb.44-Remember shoveling snow so we could practice marching in bitterly cold weather. I am now spending winter near Pensacola,Fl.and we watched with great pride the LST325 being brought back into Mobile by old Navy Vets. Don't know if any were at Sampson or not??, but they did a remarkable job getting it sea worthy,to sail from Greece-across Atlantic,against Coast Guard wishes.and make it to Mobile Bay.

I am an Air Force Sampson Vet. Some years ago,I brought my son up to Ithaca to visit Cornell. We decided to take a side trip to Sampson, where Steve Bull and his companions had a Navy display at the park's Visitors Center. I found myself wishing that it would be nice if the Sampson Air Force vets had a similar organization. Later on, I learned that they did and I joined. During a SAFBVA reunion, we visited the Navy's reunion in the renovated brig/stockade. I enjoyed it very much. When I was a senior in high school (class of 1954) and I knew I was subject to the draft, I considered enlisting in either the Navy or the Air Force. The Air Force won out (I couldn't swim). I had an uncle who served in the Navy during WW2. Who knows? Maybe he did his boot camp at Sampson.
