"Gloucester. They're always from Gloucester."

I was looking through the Coast Guard Directives and found something kind of cool. The new edition of the Coast Guard Medals and Awards Manual was released in May and guess what's on the cover? A painting of an old Gloucester rescue! A print of this was actually in the day room of the station back when I was working there.

Okay, so maybe it's not that cool.

I noticed that over the course of the three SAR updates I made, the blog got over two hundred hits. Whether this is due to the topic of the posts or the fact that Peter Stinson of an Unofficial Coast Guard Blog linked the post is debatable but I'll try posting some more sea stories in the near future. It'll be a good change of pace for the blog in a any case.

This blog is meant to serve a specific purpose. That purpose can be shaped by your feedback. If there's an aspect of Coast Guard life you're curious about then feel free to throw it in the comments section.
