MY FIRST TWO YEARS IN THE COAST GUARD

Outstanding! Back in '86 I was a jarhead assigned as ship's company to the USS Saipan. As we we're leaving Norfolk for a 6 month NATO-MED float, we we're escorted out by a Coast Guard Cutter. I was just a hillbilly from Kentucky and had to ask what type of ship that was (remember, no internet in my day). When told what it was, I said "What's the Coast Guard" which got a laugh out of my peers. Of course they also had to explain what the red-light district was in Amsterdam when we visited there. Ah, simpler times. Best wishes for your career and takes lot's of photos. You future self will appreciate it.

Congrats, man. You reignited my sailing passion when I first ran upon your very first video 1 week after you posted it. Now, I own a small marine business and did some cruising myself. Keep up the dedication!

Thank you for your service !

Thanks for posting and sharing. Very cool that you are able to film some of your experiences while in training. Congratulations on the leadership award.

YESSSSS WICKED SALTY !!!!!

Wes, this is so cool that you are now a Coastie. I am envious. I tried joining in my early late thirties, but it just wasn't in the cards. I will enjoy seeing you back to shooting some more footage of your new life. Glad to see Kate too.

Great job Wes congratulations!! ! Thank you for your service!

Congratulations on attaining all those qualifications. Keep learning and striving for more. Cheers 🍻

Well Done Wes...if You end up in coastal NC at Station Oregon Inlet You'll always have a place to chill here at my house. Good to see ya posting again. Better to lead than follow , take charge and stay safe !

Awesome man! Thank you for your dedication!

A whole new respect for you. Used to watch your videos for several years while restoring an old wooden boat. I served with the USCGAUX as an instructor teaching the Sailing and Seamanship course at a local high school. Used to go out on patrols with the Coasties out of Indian River station. Was wondering what happened to you, now I know. Keep them coming!

More Wicked than ever. Love the awesomeWes and confidence.
