I recently went to a party and had a chat with someone who said he was Coast Guard.
He told me he was deployed to Afghanistan to relieve Marines. He said Coast Guard boot camp was three months. He said much more but does our Coast Guard go beyond our coast? The whole thing smelt BS to me but I didn't want to ruin the party. He even had a Gadson flag on his motorcycle and I said nice flag, what is the name of it? He said I don't know but it was our country's first flag. |
| I was still in USCG reserves during Desert Shield/Storm. Coasties were being used in Gulf to board vessels for inspection. My mob orders were changed from 72 to 24 hour notice. Never got called up but was packed the whole time. Didn't want to spend my last 24 hours looking for uniform crap. |
