Point 1: Said Coastie is fucked. Seriously fucked.
Point 2: Squids are members of the Navy. We're puddle pirates.

Here we go again...

Apartment Managers ban flying American Flag

May I offer a very humble welcome, sir. My son sleeps peacefully at night because of you and the men of this forum.

Craig

Welcome. Good video! Bring one over here when there is 11 beaufort! I go out with my brother in-law and his "Predator" 8.5 meters with a Merc 300 engine! we have only taken it out up to 6 beaufort but the babies in the video are cool!!!

Chiron,

Thank you for the welcome and for making my day ...

I'm a fucking retard who hasn't figured out how to edit a post. I better break out the user's guide.

Surf's Up

Link doesnt work.

Ah yes, the link to nowhere. I've been there before.


This should work.

Here's the video I was really looking for. It is an extended play version of the previous post. Pay attention at the 4:00 mark -- two boats playing in the surf. I think this may be a distant view of the ...

44" Motor Life Boats

Those things are absolutely the nuts

Indeed. I spent a little bit of time in OR and WA, but most of my time on 44's was off the San Francisco coast. It is insane there, as well. One of our coxswains (go ahead and laugh) spun one a few times in the surf off of ...

Tough,

Security types, I know them well. God bless 'em, but they usually get the mission confused. When I got out of AD, I went Active Reserve at STA Fort Point on the SF Bay. Great spot, we ran 44" Motor Life Boats that were self-righting and self-bailing. The surf off of SF is ridiculous. We ...

My wife is a SK2 with a Port Security Unit (small patrol boats with big guns, and a ground combat mission). I had worked with USCG on a JTF-6 mission in Corpus Christie, then my wife joined. I went to Cape May for the wife's graduation and have spent a ton of time training her unit's boaties ...

I was watching a show about it and realized that Governor's Island had to be one of the best duty assignments in the military while it was open. Damn, that musta been rough on a guy..

I am not sure that I would put GI on par with Lake Tahoe or Islamorada in ...

Alaska Patrol (ALPAT) aboard Midgett. 72 days in the Bering Sea. Good times.

If your idea of good times is running out of seasick bags halfway through the patrol... :lol:

USCG, an underappreciated service. Tall seas & small craft -
QRT was here

K.Ingraham,

Underappreciated indeed ...

Steadfast,

Gallatin is 378' feet long. Bright white and full of might was a nick name for that class of cutter. One of her sister ships, CGC Midgett (WHEC 726), was my first unit out of basic training-- no females back then. Two weeks out of basic I made my first Alaska Patrol (ALPAT) aboard ...

Ranger Steadfast,

I spent some time at Governor's Island in the 1980's. It was quite a place. While I was there, the 378' Cutters Dallas (WHEC 716), Gallatin (WHEC 21) were homeported at GI. Do these ring a bell?

Thank you all for the welcome.
