We got on a Coast Guard cutter!

[@WebInfusion360]

I was on this ship 35 years ago!

[@bajamedic]

This was really cool!

I was on the Dallas WHEC 716 WESTPAC cruise (Vietnam) 69-70 as a SNGM/GM3, now retired CWO4WEPS

Can’t tell you how much I enjoyed seeing this. Signed, former Gunners Mate Third Class Dennis Quigley. USCGC Midgett 726 Commissioning Crew. P.S. I agree with Sean Monaghan above, hard to believe my “brand new” cutter is soon to be decommissioned.

You obviously knew captain rice! He was my father in law! Floyd would be cursing about sending the midgett to nam! It was his baby!

The CIWS gun has gotta be the one of the coolest guns in the WORLD. Change my mind....I’ll wait.

[@fleet_plastic]

I agree with you! 100%

[@davidpeterson7726]

I was on the Abseacon for two years, good duty.

[@davemanley8700]

73'-77' Evergreen. a summer on the Eagle and a year and a half ar the Academy water front best duty ever!

I was on USCGC Gallatin from 2007-2010. Wild times!

[@pferrara929]

Gallatin’71 -73 Gov. Is. I disagree with the broadcaster. It wasn’t a cool job; it was an ADVENTURE. Many Great Sea Stories from the Arctic to GITMO. Go Guard !👍🏻🇺🇸

[@tristanhanson1733]

What kind of cutter is it? From the design I’m guessing a 270 foot cutter?

[@TyGuy506]

378

[@tristanhanson1733]

Tyler Brumis ok thank you

[@Gr8Layks]

It looks like the cutter Mackinaw in northern Michigan.

[@seanmmonaghan]

I was stationed on the CGC Midgett! I miss that ship, I can’t believe she is getting decommissioned soon :(

[@hankhill5622]

Sean Monaghan I hope to join once I finish high school.
