After Katrina had struck, all the other military branches became tangled in bureaucracy, but the coast guard threw out the rule book and got down there before anyone. It was their finest hour for sure

One of the few groups that actually came out of Katrina in a posative light. Can't wait to be heading to Cape May.

Yep, it's our Rule Book that everyone is now finally listening to.
I was LE, but I have friends at AIRSTAs that are RS, I love those guys. They fight and are treated like dirt for two to three years as a "deckie" before they even get a chance at "A" School. I cheated, I had a guaranteed school in QM (now BM). Those guys scrubbed the boat and kept her together doing jobs none of us would, just to make it to "A" school.
No wonder they are so special
Semper Paratus Coasties!

haha well good point they didn't ACTUALLY throw out anything, their system was just able to avoid the buracracy that held up all the other agencies in the days after Katrina

Thanks - Actually, they did not "throw out the rule book" The CG is very good at surging and forming up around a crisis. And lower level managers don't need top level permission to respond a crisis. It's expected. (I posted the video, i'm a little biased)

at 1:45 was Navy SAR Swimmers?

Nope, definitely not- The navy may have done some rescues during Katrina but all the footage here is USCG. At minute 1:45 that is the inside of a CG H60 and a CG Rescue basket.
The footage was put together by someone at CG Training Center Mobile. Why do you think Nayve?
