Thank you for taking up the Coast Guard cause! My oldest daughter is a Gunner’s Mate, and the second intends to enlist when she turns 18 (unless she really gets sold on Maine Maritime Academy ;-).
I thank your daughter for her service.
The ignorance of our wonderful USCG on this thread is sad.
The put-downs of the Coast Guard on this thread are appalling.
All I know is that when I get my happya$$ in a bind while fishing or surfing, I will thank God for the USCG!
If a squad of US Army types show up, I will tread water!
