Schneider has had an unconventional career. He set out to be an active-duty career officer in the Coast Guard. But the illness and death of his first wife led him into the Coast Guard Reserve and a new career in higher education while rearing the couple's daughters. The memoir thus details his active Coast Guard service, career in higher education, and his role in reshaping the fundamental nature of the Coast Guard Reserve. Schneider graduated from the Coast Guard Academy in 1968 and was on board the cutter USCGC Dallas (WHEC-716) during Vietnam War service. Subsequently, he was an instructor at Officer Candidate School, a graduate student at Wesleyan University, and taught at the Coast Guard Academy before transferring to the Coast Guard Reserve in 1977. He worked 1977-85 as executive officer, University of Delaware-College of Marine Studies and in 1985 earned a Ph.D. from the University of Delaware. He served in a variety of administrative positions at Drexel University from 1985 to 1992. His reserve duty was at Indian River, Delaware, the Philadelphia Marine Safety Office, and the New York Marine Safety Office. He has served as president of Norwich University, a private military institution in Northfield, Vermont, since 1992. As a senior reserve officer in the 1990s Schneider was involved in the transformation of the Coast Guard Reserve.

After graduating from the Naval Academy in 1918, Admiral Schoeffel had duty with the Destroyer Force in the Atlantic during World War I. Designated a naval aviator in 1921, he served in air squadrons in the Pacific Fleet. After duty as navigator in the carrier Saratoga USS (CV-3), he was Assistant Director for Aviation Ordnance where he served on various committees dealing with aircraft armament matters affecting the Navy Department. In 1943 he assumed command of the light aircraft carrier USS Cabot (CVL-28) which took part in many air strikes in the Pacific. In 1945 he was Deputy Chief of Staff to CinC Pacific Fleet and Pacific Ocean Areas. The apex of his career came when he became Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance in 1950, the first naval aviator to serve as chief of that bureau.

In telling of his life and career, Chaplain Stevenson made it clear that he wanted to contribute more than just a collection of sea stories. As a result, he emphasized more than a dozen issues while doing the telling. One point that he made repeatedly was that members of the Chaplain Corps should emphasize institutional ministry rather than limiting themselves to parish ministry. Stevenson was born and reared in Brooklyn and got his undergraduate education at the small Tarkio College in Missouri. He later got his religious training at Pittsburgh-Xenia Theological Seminary. He began his active Navy service as a student in 1957 at Chaplain School in Newport, Rhode Island. Subsequent duties were at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, with Destroyer Squadron Ten; at Naval Station Newport, on board the attack aircraft carrier USS Saratoga (CVA-60); and at Naval Air Station Glenview, Illinois. In the late 1960s he was a postgraduate student in at Princeton Theological Seminary, then was involved with the Personal Response Program in South Vietnam. In the early and mid-1970s he was in the training division on the staff of the Chief of Chaplains, a student in the Chaplain School advanced course, and senior chaplain at the Naval Training Center, Orlando, Florida. He served in 1976-77 on the staff of John O'Connor, Chief of Chaplains, and provides some superb observations on O'Connor's style and achievements. Stevenson subsequently was Fleet Chaplain, Pacific Fleet/Chaplain, Naval Logistics Command Pacific Fleet, Deputy Chief of Chaplains, and served from 1983 to 1985 as the Navy's Chief of Chaplains. In his post-retirement years he worked as a civilian pastor.

Captain Triest joined the Civil Engineer Corps in 1941, and his first assignment was the design and logistics for building a secret base, "Bobcat," as a refueling station in the Christmas Islands. He describes the construction of an airfield, hospital, tank farm, and loading facilities on Ascension Island. In 1942 he headed the work of the Seabees at Espiritu Santo in the New Hebrides, and then was sent to Tulagi as a trouble shooter to rebuild the esprit de corps of the 27th battalion that had fallen to pieces. The rejuvenated battalion built facilities at Emirau and Guadalcanal--fighter air strips and a base for the Marines. Captain Triest completes his description of accomplishments of the Seabees during the war with a recounting of roads and a supply depot constructed in Okinawa--while working behind the lines as the Marines drove the Japanese off the island.

The son of four-star Admiral Joseph Strauss, Elliott Strauss followed his father into the naval profession. He graduated from the Naval Academy in 1923 and soon went on the shakedown cruise of the light cruiser USS Concord (CL-10). He subsequently was in the battleship USS Arkansas (BB-33), various destroyers, and the cruiser USS Nashville (CL-43); he commanded the USS Brooks (DD-232). In the mid-1930s he was an assistant naval attaché in Great Britain, later flag lieutenant for Commander Atlantic Squadron, Rear Admiral Alfred Johnson. Strauss became a naval observer in England on the eve of World War II, then was the first U.S. naval officer on the staff of Lord Louis Mountbatten, Chief of Combined Operations. Strauss took part in the Dieppe operation and later served on various staffs in the months leading up to the invasion of France in June 1944. He later commanded the attack transport USS Charles Carroll (APA-28) and the cruiser USS Fresno (CL-121). After duty in OpNav he commanded Destroyer Flotilla Six and later served with the U.S. mission to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

After graduating from the Naval Academy in 1925, Admiral Walker served in battleships until he was "volunteered" for submarine school in 1927. Between 1928 and 1937 he served in a series of submarines: USS R-8 (SS-85), USS R-15 (SS-92), USS R-13 (SS-90), USS S-21 (SS-126), and USS S-31 (SS-136). While skipper of S-21 in the mid-1930s, he was instrumental in the development of the torpedo data computer that proved so successful for fleet submarines during World War II. He later served on the Pacific Fleet Submarine Force staff, first in gunnery and fire control, and later as operations officer during the early months of the war. He commanded the USS Mayrant (DD-402) during the North Africa invasion, leaving her when she was severely damaged by a German bomb off Sicily. His commands included the attack transport USS Effingham (APA-165), and the oilers USS Elokomin (AO-55) and Canisteo (AO-99).
