When I flew as a Corpsman. I never had any doubt that these guys would get me home safely. They always did! They are the best.

Had I not enlisted in the Marine Corps the Coasties were my second choice. They do one heck of a great job!

>"The drop off the backside is often the worst of it!"<
no doubt, I've been on the ocean. I can't imagine what a drop-slam that would be, on such a big wave. I mean that wave is easily 30+ft.
Anyway, it sounds like you've been there. Did you work on a lifeboat?

Thats a 52 foot rescue boat and that aint no sluffing breaker! Hang on and prepair to get wet. Dont worry about getting sea sick, there is way to much chaos going on for that to happen.
I stood watch at Station Coos Bay from 84-88. 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub has the watch there now.
