Coast Guard?

[Darb]

Anyone in the US Coast Guard? Or know anyone in the USCG? I'm looking at the Marine Science Technician rating, looks interesting.

One of my employees is retired Coast Guard as well as my Brother in law. They both really liked it.

[Darb]

Cool, yeah it looks interesting.

If you ever have to board a little sailboat for a random check, Darb, just remember that you are a public servant, not Rambo-on-a-Boat like some of the current Coasties seem to think they are. :smile:

I'll say this much about the Coast Guard:

I remember being moored on a USN amphib in California next to a USCG Cutter and both were taking on supplies. Our ship was taking on gub'ment cheese, gub'ment shelf-stable milk, gub'ment canned meat, etc. while the Coasties had a Safeway truck backed up to the pier and were bringing on fresh fruit, fresh lobsters (!), fresh milk, etc.

You make the call. :wink:
