My Dad has been stationed in Elizabeth City since 2007 and will be there until at least 2015. I miss him so much and he is so great at what he does... Go E7 Chief Petty Officers!

[@jeremyfowler1519]

I bet I know him. I went through in 2008

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

I believe the Captain was referring to the excitement that takes place at the Air Station.

USCG Rocks!! Dare County Natives loves our Coast Guard. Most of our families have ties back as far as USLSS!!

[@robertmarfeojr9278]

They like to keep there old choppers,there reliable plus fixable.,... people get mad but you should try an an update lol,god bless guys....I saw huge killer whales out there and at dock but be careful the water froze on top of me before.....

[@USAIRFORCE621]

I have a firm belief in at least 30 to 40 years of service, 20 years should be minimum, less than that is absolutely unacceptable my family hasn't served for over 150 years so Americans can be slackers!

[@sassafraspaul7528]

Your family isn't the only one!! Mine served with the USLSS and some of the first families to settle the Outer Banks of NC. My dad is my hero, our Marine serving in Vietnam. I think if you served on the frontlines during any war, your dues are paid. Having lived with his PTSD and now having it myself ( thanks NC DOC and letting inmates come before staff) is a big enough price to pay, but certainly is just a piece of what we gave!! Americans are becoming self entitled brats crying victim over crap that they weren't even a part of!! I imagine there's some pretty embarrassed ancestors!

[@lorreann1]

These GUYS are exciting, and what they DO is very exciting, but when they said at the end of this video that Elizabeth City is exciting the video went from creditable to crazy. They pushed the PR BS too far!!!

[@jeremyfowler1519]

lorreann1 yes. When I was there the best thing we did was get sushi in a strip mall. Maybe went to the Outer Banks 2-3 times

[@jeremyfowler1519]

Boring town but fond memories

[@jayhawkbosun]

yeah. really slow in the winters but it can be fun in the summer especially if you go across the sound to the outerbanks
