THe C.G. swimmers STOLE the USAF Pararescue Motto, SO OTHERS MAY LIVE. The USAF PJ's EARNED that motto in Blood. The PJ's rescued downed piolts in Vietnam and continue to shed their blood in Iraq and Afgh. and the C.G. Swimmers thank the PJ's by STEALING their motto. SHAME ON YOU COAST GUARD. No wonder the C.G. gets no respect.
@wbvp they don't have the same motto bro USCG : So others may live/ SEMPER PARATUS
USAF : So "That " OTHERS MAY LIVE... not the same thing and PS don't talk shit to guys who would risk their lives for anyone out there also i respect all mllitary members.
The school the coast guard rescue swimmers go through is difficult and challenging, but probably very rewarding. I'll bet there are some (definitely not all - I know better) that would be able to make it through the BUD/S training in the Navy, based on their excellent swim skills and their ability to handle the cold.
What do you guys think? Am I off base thinking that?
even knowing people would say that rescue swimmer is the best job in USCG being a Piot would be i reckon best enlisted job well mabey it's the best if you have no intrest in flying :)
I am a rescue swimmer myself and I have been for two years and a school was the most difficult thing in my life, but once its over, they are the best years of your life. Born bred and water fed hooorrah.
im sick of people talking crap about the coast guard.just because thier not fully combat oriented.they face a new challenge most soldiers wouldn't go for.they jump into anywhere from 10 to 50ft waves to save lives.they're heroes
The decision is made pretty damn easy for AST to save someone who needs saving. So who cares that the CG isn't fully combat oriented. I didn't see anyone with rifles jumpin into New Orleans to save men, women, and children. I have the utmost respect for soldiers who go away to war, but I also have extreme respect for those who are TRULY without a shadow of a doubt willin to die cold, freezing and alone to see that an innocent person is returned home to there family.
the pic of the helo landing on the cutter with the LSO in yellow with the city in the background is my old cutter the WMEC SPENCER during katrina when we were there. i was on the left side of the flight deck there. thats neworleans in the pic.
