 Exercise Castaway is a interagency exercise that brought two Coast Guard stations to train and exercise local search and rescue with the Department of Defense Dover Air Force Base where we had a C-17 searching as on-scene commander for a life raft in the water calling Coast Guard in for help. For us being in the life raft was to go through the issued survival equipment to use it, come up with tactics, techniques and procedures making sure what we use is pertinent information and what's the most beneficial way to use these in that moment. It was pretty gnarly. It was a lot of fun. There was a lot going on from getting onto the bow until we got off, got to meet a lot of great people, made some solid relationships with the Coast Guard. It was amazing to see and look at the lessons learned we developed being in that situation.
