I am troubled reading the negative comments about Lt. Baldwin. I was one of many who watched The Bachelor when Lt./Dr. Baldwin was the bachelor.
I have always felt Andy was an Officer and a gentleman; I never ever got the impression that others posting comments felt that he is a publicity 'hound' and not an honorable dedicated Navy doctor. I felt he exuded class, honor and integrity throughout the series. It appears yo me he is still doing that in his daily life.
Just because he hasn't served in Iraq, folks, doesn't make him less of a career military man! All the best to you Dr. Baldwin, and godspeed.

Great job MDSU1

Nice interview Andy. Too bad they cut all of your comments about your team.

Thank you for bring these men home.

I glad the Lieutenant dis this. My father a WWII vet (Navy) would have liked this. Those who still live, & were there like my dad, were reluctant to discuss their experience, but are pleased this effort was made. In terms of his service , Lt Baldwin is a patriot

As to the dalliances of Lt Baldwin unrelated to this effort. He has to answer to Ms. Horst and Ms. Powers privately, and remarks are really out of place in this article

To put things into perspective it is plain and simple. Andy should not sell any more articles to the media, because "only Andy" is profiting by it and no one else. He is making the Navy look bad. If it is about the Navy any moneys made from the article should go towards Navy families, and not Andy's pocketbook. Furthermore "Andy" could of said "this story is amount this mission, the diving crew, and not about me". Then the heat would of been off of him, but he didn't because that who Andy is, me, me, me, and he took all the credit. What a disappointment for the rest of the divers and team. God Bless them for bringing home our service men, they all deserve the thanks and love from us all. Divers and crew you did a fantastic job, thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, a proud military family.

Those of you who criticize Dr. Baldwin for his service with JPAC to recover remains of fallen service members are being totally ridiculous! Nowhere in that article does he take the spotlight for what is being done there. In fact, he says,

"I was so impressed and honored to be a part of this team. I want to emphasize that I was just another person on this team – no better or worse than any other."

My grandfather's remains were on that B-24 he was diving on. Pending DNA confirmation, we believe that we can finally have some closure to the 60+ year old mystery of what happened to him.

There is a story to tell here. It's the story of JPAC, the arm of the military committed to recovering the reamins of lost service members. It's the story of civilians who aid in that search, groups like Bentprop. And it's the story of 88,000 MIAs from various American wars, who paid the ultimate sacrifice. And while their fate has been lost in the obscurity of history, their existence and death is no less real to those who never knew what became of them.

I don't care if Andy Baldwin was a "Bachelor", but I do care that he was a diver on that wreck site. And if his celebrity can be used as a catalyst to tell that story, then I say more power to it!

If I knew the names of every person involved in helping to bring my grandfather home, I would tell them each Thank You personally. Unfortunately, I don't. But because of his celebrity status, I do know Andy Baldwin's name, and for his service to our country, I say Thank You, Dr. Baldwin.

One should hold high respect to our nation and ones self when you put on a military uniform.
That respect and leadership should carry over in ones personal life.This mission was done to hopefully heal some families hearts of the loved ones they lot so many years ago. The entire crew needs to be acknowledged for a job well done.When one officer finds it necessary to take the spotlight of what was a group effort,away from the group and the focus is then related to him personally I find it heartbreaking, and embarassing to the rest of the crew.
To do a Navy mans job and honor the job that you do is one thing. To do a Navy mans job and turn it around to a personal issue is something else.Mr.Baldwin has become a person only for the media, and himself.How the service has taught our service men and women to act, this man doesn't even know the compassion of being an officer. When a man of his achievements takes his uniform off and becomes a media hog,it is a shame.
He doesn't deserve the salute, or title he says he holds proudly.I have never in my life seen an officer act as unprofessional as Mr.Baldwin.To the rest of American service men and women who do their job,and honor what our military is all about. I will stand up and salute you any day. God bless those that don't have to have the limelight to be a hero. You are our heros.Thank you crew members of this very important mission for doing a job well done, unfortunately the credit was taken away from you,we are proud of you for bringing our service men back home.You deserve the credit. Thank you for doing your jobs and not wanting to broadcast it on todays internet billboards, aka magazines, newspapers etc..
It is because people like you in the service that we are so proud to have representing our America, and you "do deserve to be addressed by your Navy rank".

LT Baldwin was doing his job.

I think it is great what the crew and Andy did in Palau.

I just wish that Andy would find it somewhere in his heart to show America how he really feels about the Navy.

I feel he should show more respect to Americans on the way he acts, because he certainly does not protray the respect of being an Officer in the United States Navy.

Andy's personal life that he continues to shove down our throats is a disgrace to man, and woman alike. I am so tired of seeing him "trying" to be a celebrity and rub elbows with all the rich, many of who worked hard to get where they are unlike a certain "navy doctor" we know.

I wish the Navy would of sent Andy to Iraq so that he could really see what it is like to be in the United States Navy, and not all the comforts he has been used to in Hawaii.

At least the "true American servicemen and women" don't have to flaunt theirselves to be a hero. They are a hero in our eyes for proudly service our Navy.

I think Andy Baldwin has alot of growing up to do and at 3l acts like a teenager. What a pity he has become. He had so much going for him, now he is a disgrace to America.

It would be a blessing to all Americans if the media and magazines would focus on our true American heros of this nations, and our military, than to focus on one person whose only purpose of pushing himself out there is to be a celebrity. It stinks. How would you feel if you are in the service and the media constantly focuses on this wantabe, and not what the real heros of the service are about. I think it is a shame, that the media and magizines feel that they have to be so addicted to this man, than they can't even look at what is vitally important to the world.

Wake up, he is a user of the media's and all man kind.

Great job Andy and US Weekly! It's always inspiring to see people like Andy doing good in the world, and refreshing to read about something other than screw-up celebs!

Life in the military is tough - you don't choose your assignments and can be forced to pack up and leave at any moment. The service men and women give up their lives to keep us safe. It's only fair and right to help find them if they are missing.

Andy's a great guy. He showed how honored he was to be serving the Nation when he was on "the bachelor".. God Bless him and our other servicemen and women

Great work Lt. Baldwin! I am a ex Navy Doc and I think what you are doing is important. Our military always brings home it's own. You could be living in LA and going from party to party,instead you are a working Navy Diver and Doc. Also thanks for all the charties you help with. God speed with your new assignment.

Much thanks to you Lt. Andy Baldwin & to all of our navy divers. America appreciates all of you!

Andy, We are so proud of all the work your unit and others like it do to bring fallen servicemen home!! Ignore all of the idiots who somehow think you get to pick where you are deployed to........obviously they have never served our country or they would know that the Navy sends you where they want...you just follow orders!!! Anyone who has lost someone they love in a war know how important the work of your unit is...EVERY person in the military is important, no matter what their duties are.....keep up the good work and stay strong!!! Remember, ignore the IDIOTS!!!!!

Good job Andy and Navy divers!

Andy, glad to hear you will be helping to recruit more doctors to be in the Navy.

Great job!!!
Proud of our young men and women who love their country enought to serve it.
