The captains who do will have long careers without incident, The one's who dont end up on the wrong side of a coast guard inquiry - and a job behind a desk. [/b][/quote]
Amen Brother. And by the way, as a veteran of the USCG, there are two definitions for the acronym 1.) Uncle Sam's Confused Group 2.) U're Screwed Coming or Going. What's the difference between the Coast Guard and the Boy Scouts? The Boy Scouts have adult supervision!!
No, actually, I had a great career in the (old) Guard (even served on a lightship and it has made me an even better captain. I have forgotten more about boating than most people will learn in a lifetime. "Becket bend: to join two lines of unequal size, the larger of the two being the standing part." Yeah!! still remember them from boot camp in Alameda!!
