i wish mine was kept that clean...its a shithole in my dorm rn

Do a 2 year update! Thinking about going officer.

Wish me luck. My decision will be released soon. I loved watching your videos. It's one of the things that have inspired me to take this path

I loved your words of encouragement at the end. Going to the Academy wasn't in my plans, but I did want to enlist and spend some time in the Guard after High School. My teenage spare time was spent swimming, running, learning to shoot an air pistol and then a 9mm (this was the mid-80s), joining Civil Air Patrol and learning how to spot from planes, radio operations, etc. Unfortunately, right before my 18th Birthday I injured my back, but at the community college I ended up going to I met a former IRS Special Agent who got me interested in Forensic Accounting and Fraud Detection. That wouldn't have happened if I enlisted into the Coast Guard after High School.

Erin thank you for your service!!!!

Here in 2024... wonder how they are doing now

Nicely presented. I wish you well in your future . Bmc. (Ret)

Awesome video. Will show it to my daughter, who is almost 13, but was thinking of joining either the Coast Guard or Air Force.

I serve 27 years in the Coast Guard exhilarate in the first district northern region I was stationed at a porn Allerton Coast Guard station and Hall Massachusetts I enjoyed every bit of it unfortunately the skipper I was crying for for 27 years passed away and then I lost my mother not long after that I have now since retired from the Coast Guard exhilarate appoint Allerton Coast Guard station and Hall very well done very well explained Super Paradis have a safe trip.😮

Well Mrs. Edward’s, this is my first of your videos, and since am the process to join the US Coast Guard Auxiliary……this has been a whole lot beneficial

Can we just take a second to appreciate how clean this boat is!?!?!?! PS love the 80’s fake marble sink countertops 😎

Looks like PA, I was there in the CG 2011-2013 on the CGC Active

There is nothing like being smart and motivated...good job

More of the dumb ass mask crap

Many Decades ago I served aboard the now long gone USCGC Point Hannon in Jonesport Maine. I wanted to say thank you for posting a tour showing how much things have changed with the new 87s. Berthing alone is an amazing improvement as there were six of us in the foward berthing. I however would have missed not having a wheel at the helm as it was great to have something to hold onto when being tossed around in hvy seas. I do love how the RHIB is launched and retrieved, over how we use to launch over the starbord side. Oh I did want to ask if the 87s still have anti gravity racks. Lol

I really want one for my Sea Scout ship.

What base is this? I've never seen where Coast Guard lives

I’m a GC auxiliary member and FSO at CGAS Clearwater. Enjoy your videos and if you y’all ever make it to this area let us know, we would love to have you speak at our flotilla meeting at the air station.

As a former Coastie, I was on the 41 footer for search and rescue. I worked with the point Glass which is an 82. Enjoy

Mass Maritime was a similar experience but Christmas lights?

weapons locker...???

Your on my shit listforever!!

I'm sorry but if the Hull isn't BLACK it's not a real coastie boat lol. Most of my career was spent in Black hulls in AK. Great video, The coast guard needs more promo stuff like this.

These are the new recruiting videos for the armed forces. Same bullshit I watched when I joined the Army. Make everything look cool and fun. Then 2 weeks into basic everyone was saying. USARMY in reverse was, Yes My Retarded Ass Signed Up.

Yo! Port Angeles! CGC Active baby, little tough guy.,

Thank you for the tour Erin. One of these cutters USCG Cutter Adelie in the San Juan’s saved my partner and I after the sailboat we were crewing on became disabled in heavy weather during a November Gale. I’ll never forget the Adelie and her crew. I am ships crew in the Canadian Coast guard working towards becoming a lifeboat OIC and look forward to the day when I get to return the favour for another mariner in need.

Looking at this video in June, 2024. Erin is probably now a JG with two years command experience.., BZ to her! I'm a retired Senior Chief (not USCG - more's the pity) and I must say that the absolute best part of my job (from LPO to Senior) was building up officers like young Erin here. Thank you for your service, ma'am. This old Senior salutes! Edit: I'm pretty old (Seaman Recruit in '76) and things/conditions have changed a lot over the years but I am absolutely convinced that our young people can - and definitely will - be as good or better than we were. Probably better... if I'm honest.

I'm not sure Connecticut College is an average college. Maybe.

Season of life: a CGA dad. Just wanted to see what life was like.

Hey Erin! Just wondering if you knew how much the academy took SAT scores into consideration? If the rest of my application is strong how much will a lower SAT score affect me?

I will be 36 this year. Is it too late in life to make the most of becoming an Officer?

May Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ bless you and all who read this. Also, the US donated 3 of these boats to the Lebanese Navy. Thank you and God Bless

I enjoyed your video as it brought back memories of my student engineering days and nights on Dallas in 1969 as a brand new O-1. 😃

I am a USCG vet BM on an 87' patrol boat WPB Point Swift.

Do you have to write all your notes by hand or are you allowed to take them digitally

BZ, shipmate. Spent 21 yrs active duty, retired in 97. 2 icebreakers back2back, etc. Stay strong. It will fly by... SemperParatus. PTL.

Enjoyed the perspective of 2022 CGA in several of your videos. This from an Academy Grad, Aviator, MS Degree (CG Sponsored), and Acquisition Manager. Post-CG Consultant.

Semper Paratus

1966

thank you for your service

Congratulations, shipmate. I served on USCGC Gallatin (WHEC 721) ETN/ET, USCGC Spencer (WMEC 905) ET, USCGC Hamilton (WHEC 715) EMO/HCO. I wish you and your husband a rewarding career.

Is this the replacement for 82 footers? Enjoy your career. USCG 24 1/2 year (ret) Subscribed

Can you do a video on the officer training pipeline for OCS candidates?

After enough time you usually wind up serving with the same folks more than once. The CG is way more intimate than the larger services. TEAM Coast Guard really describes it. It’s a great branch and I’ve made life long connections with Petty officers to Admirals. The respect among rates and ranks is amazing.

Just saw this. Graduated in 1969 from USCGA. Noticing major differences between then and now. Interesting video. At the end of the day, in the service, I was duty swimmer on our ship, and in open ocean jumped in water, swam out and brought man in life jacket (24 hours) back along side of ship for rescue. Hour later, did the same for 3 clinging to a life ring. It was worth all that I went through at the Academy. Back in the day, we had mandatory chapel on Sunday. I was involved in Officer's Christian Fellowship, which provided many Christian contacts in the Academy and later.

Good to see the working blues were changed up. Looks good. From 91-95 we looked like janitors lol.

Heck yeah on the sleeping bag! Was on the CGC Spencer for a few years. Them berthing area's are cold man.
