My dad was the radio operator in ww 2. 6 months on the ship then 6 months on a pay. He did that for the duration of the war. They were in the Atlantic.

Kureska was here

My Dad was on the Callaway when kamakazes struck. He was wounded 13 times and really never recovered emotionally after seeing his fellow crew afire. He never spoke about it.. He did become a lawyer and Judge and lived with terrible PTSD dying at 45 years old. God Bless these soldiers and sailors who so bravely fought for our country.

Elizabeth City, N.C. Where the AST A-School is located as well.

That company commander can’t shoot. He has no qualification ribbons for pistol or rifle. He’s the guy they left on shore, guaranteed.

Good to see 1705. I was on the base when it was lost. Great to see 1703, which I spent some time on.

That’s incredible, could not imagine. Unbelievable rescue from the USCG and crew saved!

Proud of something GREATER THAN THEMSELVES.

Take my ( self) thats all can do.

Versatility ( preparedness [ peratus])

Get that mixed gender off my boat your etheir male or female thats that idiot's

That CC is hamming it up for the cameras. He thinks he’s on Parris Island. Give me a break

Back in tye 1960s, we "coasties" had a saying about our situation..... " YOU HAVE TO GO OUT, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK " After time in Cat Lo, 5 ocean stations, 2 Arctic East trips, and 2 Antarctic excursions.....it was a very appropriate slogan.

Before I joined the Army in 2007, I was a member of the USCG Aux. While I was in Afghanistan with the Army, the Coast Guard had to go through our equipment & personal property for shipping back to the States, so I was familiar with their rank insignia. It was all senior NCOs and Officers processing us. There were so few Coasties deployed, that I assume lower ranks were denied the opportunity to deploy. Rank has privilege. The attitudes of the American public in supporting the Vietnam war wasn’t the same as for the GWOT, so lower ranks had more chance to serve during the Vietnam War.

Swissair 111 that crashed into the Atlantic off Nova Scotia happened 111 weeks after this crash. 800 + 111 = 911

The Navy shot it down, plain and simple.

Nice!! This was back when we had real hats!!

I was USCG HG from 97-99. I got out went to college and then commissioned in the Army and finished out my career there. However some of my best memories were in the USCG HG.

Worked ATON in Vietnam on the Cutter Blackhaw 69 through 70

Semper Paratus

I was a uscg honor guardsmen it was an honor

You guys did us proud. I hope all these men are doing okay. As well as the families of the people who died that night.

I have so many good memories of being on that base. My Uncle was stationed there back in 89. He was a Helo pilot.

Here's the deal, Not a Coastie worth his salt goes in thinking about himself

Semper Par

It is sad that the Coast Guard does not pass older equipment down to the Auxiliary.

I was on the Pt. Bridge (WPB 82338) back in 78 was my 1st boat , all of this brought back memories, from the boat, to the uniforms...

He was my neighbor on Trombly, St. Clair shores, Mi He was very active his entire life He always rode a bike all year

Pascagoula is a mess. BUT, best there build the NSC's? International Customers.

LST 1152

It was great seeing the Pt. Stuart again! Sad she and her Sister's are gone now. I was an ET at Group, Loved my time at Ballast Point With the Brower, Bridge and Stuart. We also supported the Pt. Hobart. I truly loved our 82's❣🤜🤛SEMPER PAR Boy's!!!

I want to come to the Mobile Air Station and be a duck.

My Papa was in the coast guard in ww2

Instead of giving them the safest, most state-of-the-art boats, shouldn't they give them the crapiest, most dangerous boats they can so that they face the kinds of situations they will actually encounter on the job?

Have many times taking my boats into Bodega and/or Tomales Bay I have always appreciated the USCG boats available if I screwed up on the timing of the Tomales bay entrance.

About 10 years ago, I found a life buoy with the name of the vessel inscribed off Bodega Head and dropped it off and reported to the USCG Station Bodega bay. Never heard any info on that.

God love Coast Guard. Fisherman.🎉

This is a big step up from the Storis. I thought polar class was great this is great. Enjoy best of sailing.

People don't realize that the hardest part about SAR (Search and Rescue) for the Aircrews is just what they have shown. Not being able to find the survivor/survivors especially after hot intel is absolutely draining physically and emotionally.

Trans Whore Airlines fl 800, may them all Rest in Piss❤

Everyone missed what caused it's center fuel tank to explode. It's very simple to explain. When the planes air conditioner heated the center tank and when it reached a specific altitude she exploded from dieseling as the center tank reached either a positive or vacuum pressure of 32 psi. No spark is required for a tank to deseil explode. This pressure could have built up from a damaged pressure relief valve vent or a filling cap seal failing.

my great great japanese dad pilot passed away in that crash we was the best pilot his name is "Masami Takahama"

I'm going

My Father served USCG in Cat Lo 1965.

God bless the US coast guard

Is that P.O. Berger?

Wow. Great job.

Las mujeres deben formar su propio drill. Sería muy vistoso, pero cuando se mezclan con los hombres ambos pierden protagonismo y se diluyen las maniobras y el trabajo se pierde su atractivo. El ejercito Chino lo tiene muy claro y el drill de solo mujeres es un espectáculo.

My Brother in law Carlos Santiago who was the ships Bosun perished in the tragedy never to be found. He left behind a wife, daughter and son.
