Another great Coast Guard Day today!
Spent most of the day learning new software programs for my new Operations Office duties.
Then in the afternoon was out on one of the 47' boats while it was practicing towing the other 47' boat.
Several of my Brothers made it a point to tell me how much they appreciate me pitching in in the Operations Office.
When I was just doing radio watches I was only freeing up one person.
Now I free up several in the same amount of time.
LOTS of big changes coming with change to Homeland Security Dept.
I can say "I was there when....."

Glad you're back, Tonk! Sounds like an awesome day!

Are you gonna go on the boat ride with us?

Weather conditions? Sea conditions?

"I can say "I was there when....."

How cool is that to be a part of the making of history. A big step in American history here. *HUG*

"Several of my Brothers made it a point to tell me how much they appreciate me pitching in in the Operations Office."

Dedication and pride in ones work shows through to those who know what is involved in the jobs that must be done, and done well.
