Only problem I ever had with Coasties is when a Coastie dentist at a remote deployment told me... "WTF.. I didn't study geriatrics." He called someone and my problem got fixed.

My Dad was the captain of a Coast Guard cutter seving with the Navy in Vietnam in ‘67 and ‘68. So, I’m surprised that people are surprised by their presence, I guess.

Also, for Tonk and all those coasties, the new National Security Cutter, NSC 1, Bertholf, is nearing the end of its sea trials.
Beautiful vessels, and these 418 foot, 4,300 ton ships will be frigate-sized vessels with a 21 foot draughts1, and are quite a bit larger than the 379 foot, 3,250 ton Hamilton Class High Endurance Cutters (HECs) they will replace.

Didn’t know Tonk had passed. Guess I’m not spending enough time here anymore. RIP Tonk. You’re missed.

As a prerequisite for their duties here, each had to go through extensive hazardous-materials handling and packing and shipping courses, followed by convoy travel and weapons training. Valuable training in the new century for our Coasties.
