Intro

Over the past five years, the Coast Guard has been seing more and more publicity. Between Hurricane Katrina and the film the Guardian, the new generation has been seeing more of the Coast Guard then I ever did. Thanks to the positive things the public has seen of our service, the Coast Guard is becoming a popular job to take on after high school. Although there is a lot of information on the internet about the Coast Guard, a lot of it doesn't address some of the more common questions a senior in high school might ask a recruiter. Anyone who does a search on popular sites like Facebook or Yahoo! Answers can see that a lot of people are trying to get their questions resolved via the internet so that they can form a better idea of what exactly the Coast Guard is.

My aim through this blog is to simply to describe some of the things I've seen and done so far in my Coast Guard career. Hopefully someone stumbles across it and it answers some of their questions about the Guard. If not, feel free to contact me and I'll do my best.
