Rescue swimmers: You have to go out. You don’t have to come back.
None braver.

Big hat tip to the Coasties on this rescue. The USAF PJs have never failed to blow my mind. Can’t imagine the equivalent of jumping into combat with essentially a trauma center on your back and rifle in your hand.

US Coast Guard:You got to go out you, don’t have to come back.

CG moto long before rescue swimers were thought of.

I’ve only met one USCG Rescue Swimmer. I asked him if he had any cool rescue stories to tell our Cub Scouts. He asked if we saw the movie “A Perfect Storm?” He was the guy who winched down to a ship and rescued a bunch of people.

These guys are one level above human.
