Had to much fun and adventures, rescues at sea, drug bust. Saw far more than I ever thought I would, from the Bearing Sea to Beautiful Micronesia. I loved it, sometimes wish I would of stayed in. Most people never think of the CG, but it is a great outfit and I am proud and grateful that I was lucky enough to have been in it. My Dad served in the Navy 7 years, he said try for a small ship their friendlier. That and a National Geographic issue about the CG ( small service with a big mission)made me pick the Coasties. My brother was in the Marines and he is proud of it. But as for me I think the Coast Guard is hard to beat! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 66 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 66 | Many fond memories of my time in the Guard.

The hundred fathoms of water they were in didn't seem that shallow. | | |
