Lookin2,
There are some who may help at  http://members.boardhost.com/armedguard/index-1.html
Or just Google US Navy Armed Guard and Merchant Marines, and it'll pop up in the list.

They are not genealogists,but are actual WWII veterans sharing memories, but if you ask nice one of them may help steer you in the right direction.  Good luck.

 This is the response I received from NARA.  In 1951 the Department of the Army destroyed all manifests, logs of vessels, and troop movement files of United States Army transports for World War II and most of the passenger lists."   Lookin2
