[StartQuote] When researching my PT Boat models, I had long ago learned that the best way was to contact former crew members of the boat I wanted to make a model of. What was really surprising was the number of these men that did not learn their trade at Melville but were assigned to PT Boats upon arrival in the Pacific. The majority of these guys were of the TM, MM and GM ratings and many of these guys went on to serve on more than one boat. One gentleman in particular Rich Malecki, TM2, Ron 11, PT-184 was my neighbor 10 years before I learned that he was on a boat. Rich who also didn't go to Melville related a story to me about four Sailors who were in the Brig at Pearl Harbor and were volunteered to serve in Ron 11. The PT service must have agreed with these guys because it turned their careers around. Wayne Traxel[EndQuote]
