I'm not sure where you are getting your numbers from. The "slow speed" boom on the KC-135 is rated to 335 knots indicated. The high speed boom is limited by the aircraft's placard speed which can be as high as 373 knots or Mach 0.9.

171st air refueling wing freaking rocks i have videos from the kc-135 from the boom cockpit and window

Actually if I'm not mistaken the Coast Guard picked up an F-15 pilot of a two ship that collided over the Atlantic recently.
In any case the Coasties go through the same schools that the CSAR units in other services go through. They are equally if not better (because they actually do the mission every day) than everyone else. Hurrican Katrina anyone?

Yeah it's good stuff. It's hard to imagine something that big, take-off in such a short distance. You don't get a true sense of its size, until you are upclose and personal. On a side note, why does each area of the U.S. military, make fun of each area of branch. You guys are are on the same team. It pains me to hear this. The CG also deserve the utmost respect. You all deserve it. So please, respect your fellow officers of other branches. Thank you for your service to me and this country.
