Hoorah!

Took the day off from behing on the water, and went up above it.


I reenlisted with the USCG and did a morale flight around some of my favorite places to fish. If you guys could see all the kelp paddies from up here you would go crazy wondering why it takes hours to find them sometimes
Next time I go south, I'm definately hiring some aerial support

I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic...

Anyway, I thought I would share!

When I reenlisted on deployment in the gulf I said I wanted to do it in a F-18. They laughed at me. I did get a sweet bonus tax free though. Thanks for your service!

Way to go. I am on my final two years of Navy service. That will take me to 30. I think I'm institutionalized.

Thats rad. I'm going to try and take it as far as I can. With the Sequestration though it's getting harder and harder to reup without a steady advancement record.

Semper Paratus my friend! -

Glad that your CG experience is more interesting than mine was - I was in way back when we were under the Dept of Transportation - and didn't have enough money for the fuel to leave the dock. Made for a very boring enlistment...
