Question: USMC DD form 214?

Posted: 25 Aug 2014 10:08 AM PDT

Hello, I'd appreciate it if some of you know how to obtain this document. I've called VA for the past 3 hours and they keep saying "we're sorry but we have too many people calling right now". So I was wondering, if you can obtain the document from MOL? I need it for post 9/11 GI bill.
Also, if anyone in Reserves have used this bill before, can you please tell me a little bit about it.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Question: Replacing Ballast with Batteries.?

Replacing Ballast with Batteries.?

If you wanted to store appreciable amounts of electrical energy(say produced by wind, solar, and trolling generators) on a regular sailboat this would require a substantial mass of batteries.
Without wanting to add to much extra weight to the boat, or having to sacrifice useful mass, would it be possible to have a bank of heavy duty batteries doing double duty as a portion of the ballast.
Of course with the batteries stored in a sealed space to protect them from bilge water, and with a vent from this space to the outside to allow for safe off-gassing.

Question: What kind of boat is this?

It is a Dutch built thing in Aluminium . The Netherlands has a long tradition of welding together big tough steel working boats which are derived from the timber built working craft of a century ago , and this comes from that metal boat building tradition ,

The city is Amsterdam .
It is a nice looking boat , pity about the loudmouthed Yank tosser riding in it and pretending to pick up girls ( all obviously scripted ) . It is people like him who really get on European's wicks .

Question: I have a 1987 Berliner cuddy and can see chips and bubbles in areas on the hull. Can this cause my boat to leak?

The chips are from rough use over the years, and can easily be repaired with a gel-coat repair kit, available at any marine supplier. The small bubbles are a sign of osmosis (water migrating through tiny pores in the gel-coat to the outer layer of the fiberglass), and are usually found at the waterline of the hull, especially in the transom area. The repair is a lot more complicated, involving removal of the old gel-coat and some of the fiberglass, and then re-laying fiberglass and gel-coat, usually in a temporary vacuum mold. This repair should probably be left to professionals.
The good news is, that unless the damage or osmosis is severe, you should get no water intrusion inside the boat.
