Welcome to my Wikipedia User page. My real name is Jim Barbe and I have lived in St. Marys, Georgia since 1993 (with the exception of 1.5 years in Bangor, WA with the Navy). I am a new Wikipedia contributor who finds that editing Wiki pages is extremely time consuming. I do have a life beyond the computer, although the TV is practically the same thing as a computer. Maybe I am just addicted to sitting and staring at glowing boxes?


Background

edit
edit

I am a US Navy veteran with twenty years in the United States Submarine Force, including twenty strategic deterrent submarine patrols. So if you need to know about fires, flooding, or hiding from the Russians, I am your man. Previous commands include the USS Von Steuben (SSBN-632), USS West Virginia (SSBN 736), USS Louisiana (SSBN 743) and Trident Training Facility, Kings Bay, GA. Awards include the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal and Achievement Medals along with the Gold SSBN Deterrent Patrol insignia for completion of twenty SSBN patrols.

Educational Background

edit

I have a Masters in Education from Valdosta State University, specializing in adult and career education. I also have an Applied Technology Diploma in Marine Electronics and a Journeyman’s Apprenticeship Certificate in the field "Electronics Mechanic" from the U.S. Department of Labor.

What I will update on Wikipedia

edit

TRIDENT Submarine Force

edit

My expertise lies in the TRIDENT and the fleet ballistic missile submarine domain. My navy ratings were Fire Control Technician (Ballistic) and Missile Technician. I will most likely edit and create pages that deal with the United States Navy nuclear submarine force, TRIDENT missile systems, and their associated support systems.

When dealing with the military data, all information that I edit or create will be unclassified, public domain information. Some technical information I will not be able to comment on because that would lend credibility to the information which would violate my non-disclosure agreement with the government.

Local Area

edit

  Since I am from St. Marys, GA, I will also update pages associated with the city, county, and the local submarine base

63rd Virginia Infantry

edit

I will research this infantry unit when time permits since my Great-grandfather was a member of the unit during the Civil War.

Wikimedia Commons

edit

  I am trying to add photos of Camden County, GA to Wikimedia Commons. See my Commons Gallery of photos or my Wikipedia Gallery. On pages regarding Camden county that need photos, add this category to the page so that everyone will know. [[Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Camden County, Georgia]] I will attempt to photograph everyones request but the best way to message me is to write a request on my talk page.

I also have a Wikimedia User Page:
