Thanks for your story. My son is graduating boot camp at cape may in 6 days. I haven’t heard all of his stories yet, but he said it’s the hardest thing he has ever done.

[@Bassandbrewsfishingpodcast]

It’s a lot harder then people think but the end result is worth it!!

[@bogolyskeepingitreel]

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!!!! Thank you for your service !!!!

[@Bassandbrewsfishingpodcast]

Thanks for watching, and know it’s outside my normal fishing content.

[@ASMRaphael]

Mission accomplished. It's magical.

Thank you.

I just found your videos. I watched the Penbryn Lake video. Then discovered you are in or retiring from USCG. I served back in 80's and 90's. Enlisted to Officer. I did a tour on 378 Jarvis as DCA. My son is now in serving in the CG and a YN2 at Cape May. I had a great time serving and have good friends both enlisted and officer ranks. Good Luck on your retirement! I look forward to checking out the rest of your videos. Fair Winds and Following Seas!

[@Bassandbrewsfishingpodcast]

Thanks for the comment and for watching some videos!!! Yeah I officially retired on February 2023

[@matturibe5256]

Damn, I was over it after 8 years!!! But I was always at a station. We both went in the same year 2003 I went in February. Ya, they called me little Arnold cuz I was a big body builder then. This idiot right when we got our company commanders was talking to me and they called me and him over there. Made us hold a one arm push up for like 15 minutes. I made it he didn't. Then laroach my commander says it sucks when someone else gets u in trouble. They respected me after that. I had PO Emrick and PO Laroach and my company commanders, and they called Emrick little Satan. He was nuts. I went in the dead winter, and he would walk around in a short leave shirt when we had jackets. Dude wasn't tall but he was one tough as dude.

[@Bassandbrewsfishingpodcast]

What company were you? I was E-164

That was so awesome 👍 lot of stuff i never knew about the coast guard. You wore many hats throughout your career. Thanks for your service 🙏

[@Bassandbrewsfishingpodcast]

Thanks for watching brother, yeah it’s been quite the ride.

[@juandearco]

I really enjoyed listening and watching your video! I'm going to A school for Damage Control, I'd really love to hear any input you have about a DC, if you knew anyone or meant any of them, I'd like to hear what it'll be like. Thanks for your service!

[@Bassandbrewsfishingpodcast]

Some of the coolest people I’d meet in the CG were DCs. It’s a tough job though. You will be in the trenches so to speak while on a cutter. Upside is you’ll learn tons of skills that translate outside the CG. Good luck at school and stay safe.

[@heatherwhedbee9988]

I love your perspective on ending how you started! That's a such a good way of looking at it :)

Thank you Aaron, this was definitely outside my comfort zone talking about some of my experiences outside of fishing.

[@jerseyboysoutdoors]
