My tribute to the USCG (because Coasties rock!). I see a lot of videos about the coast guard but very few that examine its culture. This is my first attempt at elaborating on the ethos of the USCG. I may make a better version or add on to it in the future.

  • I've blocked lietzke. Saves us all a bunch of trouble. He's just a troll looking to provoke a reaction. Now we won't have to deal with his crap anymore.

  • 1:06 tha coast guard has CIWS?!

  • @williamss666 Indeed they do. Only on certain cutters though. High Endurance and National Security cutters I know for sure. It ain't the newest and the latest like the Navy, but we make do with what we got.

  • @williamss666 what are CIWS?

  • @bobbyb618 It stands for Close In Weapons System. Its a 20mm gatling gun linked to a radar which can track & shoot down incoming targets. Missiles, aircraft, etc.

  • Very Nice Job on the video! I especially like the "You have to go out, but you don't have to come back." I got out in 1997 and I very rarely hear this quote anymore. To me it really says it all. Thanks for your work on this video

  • I don't hear it much either. I mostly see it in literature and the like. But you're right, it says it all. Selfless devotion to duty.

  • @kenberinc Who says you have to go out? You don't recall that phrase. "You choose your rate, you choose your fate" That's quite true. These many videos here on youtube show rates like BM,QM,HS,ASM, all being put in harms way. Choose a rate like MU, YN,SK and your chances of going out are much slimmer. In my 18 of my 20 yrs. of military service I was only aboard for 11 months once. Was never really in harms way then.

  • Awesome video

    

  • Very good

  • That was amazing! Im going to the reserves soon! cant wait

  • Best wishes to all vets, and active duty. Especially those who risk all 'So That Others May Live'. I'm a disabled vet, and these guys have my utmost respect.

  • I managed to Serve 7 months in Service in USCG due to Disabilities.Im really disappointed in my self not continuing on.Join because i love America and whilling to take a bullet for the sake of others.Saving lifes is just the ultimate sacrifice one makes without thinking of our own(thats how i was)and rdy to die for my country.Sum people join cause of benefits,but not the true intention of saying"im a solider o coastie and im ready to give my life for freedom.Sad couldnt finish my contract.
