Cripple Creek Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 @ExiledInIllinois and his crew have never acted in such a brave and selfless way. This is why they'll always be the little brother of the USCG. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1028986 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 There is an urban legend that being a person in the Coast Guard who jumps in the water requires training that is more difficult than any other training in any other branch of service. I know nothing, I’m just repeating what I’ve heard.... from Coast Guard folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv's Neighbor Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Is the value the same after it gets soaked with sea water? The video would have been better if they just shot a big hole in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Article 10 powers were activated for USCG. AOC will do away with Department of Homeland and make USCG DoT again!

AND the USACE deals with has the most daily interactions with the general public. It's the oldest in the Military too... Formed a day before @ the Battle of Bunker Hill, 6/16/1775.

I'm certain SEAL and other special forces training is much more rigorous physically, and landing on an aircraft carrier is pretty challenging and incredibly intense. Kudos to the coasties though. that was a good get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
