I went through Ft. Gordon's 29Y course back in early 1991.. Cooke's 6th Platoon. Drill Sgt. Motley used to scare the living crap out of us. Brought our entire room to attention, and when she walked out, one of our guys started mouthing the Halloween theme sound. About a second later she re-entered the room, and you could hear a pin drop. I had no idea she was so accomplished. Huge respect. Motley, Cooke, Cruz.. definitely a group worthy of remembering.

Hello, I saw an image of you on the wall at the Women Veterans and Military Family Services in Mt. Pocono, PA and found my way to your website. I'm so thankful they honored you with that image and thank you for sharing your story! ~Sheila L. Holmes, USAF Veteran and Editor-in-Chief of AVOW Magazine

Dear Ms. Motley, I am a 5th grade teacher at a Stanley Hupfeld Academy in Oklahoma City. We are a PreK-5th elementary school and you were one of our Black History Heroes this February. Many students wrote letters to you and I would like to get these to you. Do you have a mailing address to receive these?

First or all, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! I served in the Air Force as an Aircraft Mechanic and Flight Mechanic (position of flight engineer w/o panel school). It is always a blessing to read or hear about my fellow black service members reaching heights that many say couldn't, wouldn't, or shouldn't even be attempted. CONGRATULATIONS! You are an inspiration to all people.

I was just going through a diving web sits and saw your picture. I did some diving while in the navy. not as a rated diver but helping a real navy diver in Vietnam in 1969-70. Still diving at age 70 and working as a dive master at a local shop. Your story is an inspiration. Ranks right up there with Carl Brashear. It would be an honor to meet with you.

Good Morning Ma'am, I hope to be an army diver like you! I have been looking and asking other Engineers, and have not found another woman army diver. What are some things I can do to get ready for Phase 1? Thank you!

Just came across your impressive story after reading Jennifer Egan's book MANHATTAN BEACH. You'd probably enjoy reading it. Anna became a Navy diver at the Brooklyn Navy Yard during WW II. Many of her issues were similar to yours, just 30+ years earlier. I look forward to you maybe writing to J. Egan, or commenting more on your life of Wonderful achievement. Best wishes to you. Frances

Greetings, My name is Lorenzo, On February 1st 2017, I began a yearlong investigation into the connotations and contractions orbiting around the month of February, or as many describe it, Black History Month. Each day, a new digital collage is created depicting an array of historical and contemporary subjects, sites, iconic figures, etc. under the pretense “What if the month of February never ends?” I have decided to include you in the project because your amazing achievements. Please feel free to check out the project on instagram at @bylorenzobaker and my webesite bylorenzobaker.com “Never be limited by other people’s limited imaginations.”

Man I am very encouraged by you and what you have done. I know that your life didn't set out be be an encouragement, but it has. Let me explain why. My daughter is about to pursue a career in scuba diving! I am excited for her at the same time apprehensive.Because its a male dominate field. And they can be hell on a female. I know because I worked as a firefighter in a big state. I was blacked balled because of shoes and was never ever able to make rank in 27 years. I am very proud of you and your accomplishments. I just hope and pray that my daughter will be able to stand the pressure and remain focus on HER goals. I am truly blessed to have read your story. PLEASE don't stop.

Hello, each year in Feb. a coworker and I put on an African American program at school. The students portray famous African Americans. This year we wanted to highlight you in the program. I can not find the information I need. In the speech they have a few minutes to tell how you became interested in becoming a deep sea diver and what you did to accomplish your goals.

I enjoyed reading your work and viewing your photos. I am currently attending WLC and my class was assigned an oral historical brief on a military NCO. Due to a history buff friend of mine on Facebook, I learned of you and your service to our country. Consequently, I chose to do my assignment on your accomplishment. Thanks for your service and best wishes in your retirement.

Your story and your career are definitely inspiring. Thank you for writing this.

If it weren't for soldiers like you, I would've never thought my career was possible. Thanks for the motivation and inspiration.

Your own website, WOW. It was an honor serving with you in Pohang, and a lot of fun. Sorry we just missed each other in Korea 90-91. You should have come down and seen the 502nd Eng Det. (Div).

Arnaldo Rivera said: August 10th, 2012 4:31 pm
I went TDY to Ramstein AB, Germany and I met Andrea at the sports bar in the KMCC. What an honor. I first saw her at the elevator and rendered my hello. I would have never thought it was someone of such respect, honor and importance. The couple hours we spent at the bar talking about diving was truly a memorable moment. I will cherish that moment and it is well recorded in my memories. To you Andrea Montley Crabtree, thank you for what you did and for what you continue doing. Thank you for being a role model. You inspire many. It was so awesome to see your pictures and hear your stories about what you did back then. I wish more people knew about what you did. Good luck with you book. If you are ever in Spain and you need anything, please don't hesitate to contact me.

TD Frank said: May 10th, 2012 5:31 pm
After talking to you on the phone from HRC, I was very impressed with your demeanor and will to win. It's amazing what you've done in your life and what you've lived through. You should be an inspiration to all women. As a retiree, I've seen much in my 27 year career and wish I had male soldiers with your courage and drive for life.

brett boyer said: April 20th, 2012 4:25 pm
Heard a lot about you during my time in the dive field. I came into the Army Dive Field in 89-90. I am the `1SG now down at NDSTC. I enjoyed your web page and know most of the old timers you mentioned in your bio. Do you ever plan on coming to any of our Army Diver Re-unions? Like to meet you in person. Take care. MDV

deepnwords said: April 1st, 2012 9:53 pm
Your story is pretty incredible, however, I would love to read more about you from your childhood to adulthood. It would help me understand your journey, your choices, and why you made the decisions you did.

You probably don't remember me, but you were the most memorable dental patient I have ever had the priviledge to meet. You graciously autographed the photo of you in the dive suit sitting.

I am truly honored to have served with you at Merrell Barracks in Nurmberg Germany with the 614th Maint. Company. I still recall when you got pinned with your SPEC 5. I thought that was truly amazing then. And now I am even more proud of this accomplishment. I have shared this with my students, the honor of personally knowing you, and next month we will acknowledge you and your story at our school during Black History Month. Thanks for your contributions to society, your service and all that you do. You are indeed someone awesome to look up to. May God's Blessings always be with you.

Bruce Hatlan said: June 28th, 2011 10:19 pm
As we spoke and I started to go back in time to, "the day", I could feel that connection that only someone that had shared the experiences of being a deep sea diver back in those days, could. Good times and hard work that we did, day and night. I find that I can only smile and laugh. I checked out the pictures of Dean and saw that goofy grin and dip in his lip.. well those who knew him will always picture him that way in their memories.

Tillman McAdams said: June 23rd, 2011 5:11 pm

Jan Henault said: January 16th, 2011 12:07 am
First, thank you for your service and for your website. You will inspire others. My Dad was a Navy Deepsea Diver in the late 30'a and early 40's. His suit didn't look much different from yours...more metal, maybe. He helped rescue and salvage the USS Squalus (submarine). Stay well and be happy.

Andrea the site looks great and the pictures are awesome. During my time at the detachment in Virginia, 93-97, I had heard stories about you from Gibbs, Brill, Andrews, Pagel and a few others. Would love to see more pictures! Ever consider writing a book? HOOYAH, Deep Sea!

Andrea, It was great working with you at Belvoir. You learn a great deal more about folks when you go TDY with them especially on tough missions like Deep Blue. Puerto Rico was one of the best. Good Luck in your future indevours.

Hey Andrea, I'll never forget the bond created between all of us during those incredibly amazing,rewarding,formative few years in Pohang. We grew, experinced and leArned sooo much. I am so proud to have stood beside you and to have dove with the first US Army female diver. Who knew at the time, that you we're making Army and Army Diver history. The memories will last forever. Love to you and yours... Your buddy forever, Dean
