~The FReeper Canteen Presents~ Road Trip: Integrated Support Command Kodiak, Alaska Located in the city with the same name in Alaska, Integrated Support Command Kodiak is currently the largest operating installation run by the United States Coast Guard. It spreads over 23,000 acres and holds another record for the one and only base in the US Coast Guard that can support and host both aircrafts and ships. The primary mission at ISC Kodiak is to support all the operations and objectives of the United States Coast Guard, whether they imply ice patrolling, oil spills hunting, search and rescue missions or law enforcement activities. The activity is very intense on site, especially due to the active oil companies in the area, not to mention the cold weather and the ice areas that must be constantly monitored. Other than that, the installation supports all the cutters relocated in the Pacific area whenever they require help or maintenance. On 25 April 1972 the order establishing Coast Guard Base Kodiak and CG RADSTA Kodiak was issued by the Commandant of the CG. CG Air Station Kodiak was already operating with three HC-130H airplanes and two HH-52A helicopters. Today, CG Air Station Kodiak operates five HC-130H aircraft, five HH-60J Jayhawk helicopters, and five HH-65C Dolphin helicopters. Learn More About ISC Kodiak HERE!! FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT~Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allies military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.
Please remember: The Canteen is a place to honor and entertain our troops. The Canteen is family friendly. Let's have fun! We pray for your continued strength, to be strong in the face of adversity. We pray for your safety, that you will return to your families and friends soon. We pray that your hope, courage, and dignity remain unbroken, so that you may show others the way.

Resting In God
It was our last holiday together as a family before our eldest son went off to college. As we filled the back pew in the little seaside church, my heart filled with love as I glanced along the row of my five reasonably tidy children. Please protect them spiritually and keep them close to You, Lord. I prayed silently, thinking of the pressures and challenges each of them faced.
The final hymn had a rousing chorus based on the words of 2 Timothy 1:12. I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him. It brought a sense of peace as I was assured that God would keep their souls.
Years have passed since then. There have been times of wandering for some of my children, and outright rebellion for others. Sometimes Ive wondered about Gods faithfulness. Then I remember Abraham. He stumbled but never failed in his trust in the promise hed received (Gen. 15:5-6; Rom. 4:20-21). Through years of waiting and mistaken attempts to help things along, Abraham hung on to Gods promise until Isaac was born.
I find this reminder to trust encouraging. We tell God our request. We remember that He cares. We know He is powerful. We thank Him for His faithfulness.
Lord, my patience is often lacking and my timetable
often does not match Yours. Forgive me for my times
of doubt, and help me to trust You more.
Thank You for Your faithfulness.
Some lessons of patience take a long time to learn.
Abraham was 75 when God first told him that he would be the father of many nations (Gen. 12:4). But when Abraham noted that both he and Sarah were childless (15:2), God promised that he would have a son who is your own flesh and blood (v.4 niv). This promise was 25 years in its making. For Isaac was born when Abraham was 100 and Sarah 90 (17:17), when their bodies were already dead reproductively (Rom. 4:19). Abraham believed in the Lord (Gen. 15:6; Rom. 4:17), fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform (Rom. 4:21).

I was stationed at Support Center Kodiak right after boot in the late 80s. Everything came by boat or plane and was very expensive. It was an amazing place. The drive into town was lovely. The town’s probably grown quite a bit since then. Temper Paratus to all the guys and gals there and at the Air Station.
