Two of my daughters joined the Coast Guard, one search and rescue, the other a nurse. I am so proud of them. I served twenty years in the Army, my husband served ten years.
Was your daughter a nurse before joining or did the coast guard train her to become a nurse? Just wondering as I was thinking about joining the coast guard and think nursing would be a great path.
USCG is way underrated and underappreciated. They are literally in the business of saving lives first. They're not apart of the Department of Defense yet are a branch of our military. They make up our armed forces yet are also classified as a law enforcement agency and keep our coastal borders safe. They are the only agency capable of enforcing federal laws, maritime laws, and international laws. They have full arrest powers and police authority yet they primarily focus on life saving missions & search/rescue. I mean how badass is all of that? How do more people not grow up wanting to do such an amazing career? I honestly wish I knew all this as a kid because I would have been obsessed lol. Very much respect the men and women of our US Coast Guard and all they do for us.
Originally part of Treasury as issue of border control (taxes and Customs) now primarily Homeland Security but transfer to Dept of Defense Commanding times of War.
Living in Sitka, mid-winter, lying in bed late at night, pitch dark and blowing like hell I hear the CG helicopter take to the air. I lived across Sitka Sound from USCG Air Station Sitka and more than once we heard the helicopters take off on a mission. I have nothing but admiration for their service. Well done.
When we lived in the Interior they landed a float plane on the lake to be sure they could because of my dad's really bad heart. He did have 3 heart attacks out there and that was way before cell phones were around plus we didn't have electricity out there.
He's responsible for every soul aboard, he could actually face charges of he went before anyone else in some situations. The responsibility is life and death in a boat or aircraft.
@@rowerwet That would only apply in the event of abandoning ship. They were all off the ship and in the water. At that point its best to follow the rescuers instructions so as not to cause confusion or delay. But yes, in the event of abandoning ship, the captain is responsible for getting everyone else off before they go. :)
right so there it is exactly, the captain is ultimately responsible for every soul on the ship, while there still on the ship, once in the water the rescue swimmers the decision maker......that is, if you're lucky enough to have a rescue swimmer....🙏
I was in the USCG from LA to about the Canadian border and from Boston to the Canadian border. We came across dead people sometimes. So when we were able to rescue people that were still alive we were totally psyched. It makes you feel so good inside to know you saved another human being. We'd all be high-fiving and grinning from ear to ear. That feeling stays with you for a long time.
Man i need to watch this show with my father. i bet It would bring back alot of memories from when he was in the coast guard stationed in sitka alaska, which is also where i was born! Almost certain he would have been on this show if they started filming 25 years ago! Its just amazing and i admire the fact that my dad used his military training as part of a flight crew to save lives! some other branches of the military are taught & trained for the opposite.
Watch your mouth civilian. Just cause I'm trained grim the Army served 20 years honorable and was highly trained to take out your heart and show it to you directly mean I wasn't trained on advanced first aid too. Most Combat trained Army Soldiers are able to perform first aid almost Paramedic training status. So, before you start jaw jacking best use your 3rd point of contact of a brain. Better yet, just say Thank You and then have a nice day.
41:55 _"This is what I'd like to say about the Coast Guard... it's like your friends are out there looking for you."_ This is one of _the_ best compliments one could say about the unswerving, selfless service of the men and women of the United States Coast Guard.
Over the years, the U.S. Coast Guard has worn many hats, and been shuffled around to different supervising agencies, but one thing is clear: Theirs is a noble and high calling. Saving lives, defending the country, enforcing the law.
I served 28 years in the Army, CG has my upmost respect, Alaska is beautiful, I wonder if I can do it all over again at 18, would Iaoe search amd rescue, binge watching now
Just wow! A very emotional one, full of friends helping friends. Love these guys and gals who head into the storm while every one else runs out. To those past and present, I thank you with all my heart!
I love the coast guard . I respect them for the way they do their job. 100 percent. My cousin lost his life trying to rescue someone in distress. He was in alaska. The whole crew perished that day.
I'm so sorry for your loss and that of the other families of these heroic Coast Guard members. There's a special place in Heaven for them. The Savior gave His life for us, and these men and women risk their lives--and sometimes sacrifice them--for us. That's the highest form of sacrifice.
I just recently found out that my grandfather was the very first Kodiak Alaska swimmer in the Coast Guard. His ID was 001, and hes told us so many stories of him jumping out of helicopters into the cold alaskan waters to save people. I couldnt be more proud.
Speaking as a former tank crewman... Happens all the time man. The funny one is when you forget you're wearing a scarf or balaklava on your face and you try and blow your nose. 😁 And yes, I say that cuz I've I done it... lol!
Very similar to when im welding/fabricating. I will set a part where it needs to go. Grab my mig gun, and then try to flip my helmet down just to realize it's not even on my head 😂
The gentleman that lost his life,RIP, I will say to be in that setting and doing what you love most of us can dream about. To many people die in hospitals and lonely bedrooms with hospice. I want to go in a place that is majestic as that doing what I love. We have to go on with the pain of losing the loved one but I guess if there's any comfort it's knowing he was at his happiest time and you have the picture to prove it. God bless
My Grandfather was a Pilot on D-day in WW2 and a Captain after that... He saved all his men in a crash landing at one point in his career. And I’m thoroughly impressed with the Piloting I saw from you guys!!! I know my Grandpa would be too if he was still around. (Solutes) Great job everyone. ♥️
I was coming home from kodaik island and sitting next to a nice family and we got talking and it was the wife who's a pilot in the coast guard it was cool to listen to her talk about how proud she was to be in the coast guard and some of the wild weather and about how insane it can be at times in the chopper.
I loss a cousin many years ago on a fishing boat off Alaska. He was a cook and the only thing they could think of was he was probably caught inside the boat when it was capsized. He was the only one never recovered. My Uncle never recovered from it. Alaska is beautiful, but deadly.
Best episode I have seen. Thank you Coast Guard women and men for your service! Had the pleasure of meeting a few members while sailing in the San Juans of Washington state one day. That was a scary afternoon but my brother and I are here today. 🙏 thank you!!!
I cried with you and you did all you can do and now he is watching over you and now your best buddy is your guardian angel who is the one that kept you alive for 7 days !! My heart ♥️ is with you and his family!!!
So I'm an ex Cavalry trooper, served on the first generation M1 Abrams in the way back. But I have a lot of respect for the Coasties. For one thing, they go out in weather that'd make Santa Claus stay home. For another, their principal opponents are Mother Nature and Human Stupidity. Their BEST day on the job is only breaking even...
I watched this story on "I Shouldn't be Alive". Incredible survival by a lone man who had to stay up in a dead tree to prevent himself from drowning when the tide came in. No food, no water, no shelter, freezing cold and rain. His buddy hadn't come back for him after he loaded the bear meat in his skiff because he had drowned. Seven days later he layed in the grass to die when he heard Coast Guard heli and he was saved ❤God Bless
The boat breaking free and drifting away saved his life. Had that not happened leading people to see it. He was only hours from death. He even said he was about to lay down and "Go to sleep" and we all know what that means when you are hypothermic. And without food or water for 7 days. Hes a lucky man!
Amazing the missions these guys achieve, the lives they save. What dedication and compassion they have to do this job!!! Thank God for them and I pray Gods safety on them in each and every mission❣️
I have little exposure to the coast guard. An acquaintance I used to work with in the army eventually qualified to become coast guard and I remember how extremely brutal the training was, some say tougher than special forces. I have such respect for these people. Well done.
I'm so glad you are sharing this. I really enjoy this and I completely respect each one involved in the required to do each and every time they are requested to go out. How Blessed we are to have these people serving our Country. God Bless each and everyone.
I love it when one of the crew grabs a Rand McNally Road Map of Alaska! Very high tech! Don't ever give up your paper maps. Also, it isn't lost on me what first-class equipment we tax payers provide to the Coast Guard, often times so we can spend thousands of dollars rescuing people who choose to needlessly endanger themselves. I don't gripe about finding lost hunters, but some of these rescues are necessary when they should not be. All that said, "Semper Paratus!" Good on ya', men!
Typically that's more of a gulf of mexico area, and great lakes region where people tend to be extremely stupid. Alaska I feel like the people know that nature is no joke and can turn on them any second
The guy that survived those 7 days definitely has someone watching over him! What I do find extremely cool is he works for the ambulance system in my city!
This series got me through covid. I was a very ill senior citizen, and was so inspired and edified, I know, as I watched continuously for days, that the bravery and expertise of the Coast Guard’s rescues were instrumental in my healing.
I knew a former CG. He was stationed somewhere up north around the border of Canada. He said he got out because he was tired of finding deceased people all the time (it was a body of water people usually ventured too far out on the ice). This show touches on that fact. Sometimes, no matter what is done, you just cant save them all. He said even if you save 99 of the 100 people in a rescue mission that you still feel like you failed.
My heart goes out to Garrett's friend -- watching his friend go out in his blue kayak. Condolences to family and friends. Very emotional watching this.
I'm that was me stranded out there after 7 days and no food , no water, when the CG turned up, I would have cried like a baby out of gratefulness. Goodonya CG. (From Australia).
Unreal story. Pretty heartbreaking and amazing at the same time, I would LOVE to see this story about these two hunters be made into a movie. It would be a great way to honour the work these CG guys did, to honour the life of the hunter that passed, and celebrate the one that survived.
Not only do these guys have to deal with brutal weather, animal attacks, boating accidents, and the on the east coast and gulf they deal with drug runners and smugglers. These guys have to be ready for everything. Way to go guys.
GOD BLESS ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN in the COAST GUARD Of course, this is coming from a MARINE, but just the same, I "DO" appreciate all you guys, and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, and we are ALL a BROTHERHOOD!!!
There are no words that give a deeper meaning than THANK YOU! THKS to each and everyone of you BLESSINGS serving and those whom have served. GODS BLESSINGS!!!!!!!!!!
I recently discovered this show and I love it! Much respect to the US Coast Guard for putting their lives on the line everyday to help save others🙌🏻❤️🤍💙
I’m a civilian and I have to admit I knew absolutely nothing about what The Coast Guard is, or what they do. The more I watch this series, I am absolutely blown away at their sheer bravery, dedication, and professionalism. ❤ Condolences to Garrett’s family. May he rest in peace.
Two of my daughters joined the Coast Guard, one search and rescue, the other a nurse. I am so proud of them. I served twenty years in the Army, my husband served ten years.
Jodie Bennett, thank you for your families service.
Yes, thank you and your precious family!
Thank you to all of your family for your service! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Was your daughter a nurse before joining or did the coast guard train her to become a nurse? Just wondering as I was thinking about joining the coast guard and think nursing would be a great path.

You're a Hero in my book. God bless you!
As a Retired Marine, I have the utmost respect for these men and women.
Same here. We gave them a lot of crap but we never meant anything by it. These men and women work hard
as a crack smoking prostitute, i agree!
Now these guys and gals are the true hero's. You won't find no cowards here. Praise God for true, compassionate humans.
*you won't find any
@Christiane Montazer Yeah that's bullshit. They're probably out in nature more than you will ever be and enjoying all it has to offer.
He was correcting the posters grammar lol, not saying they aren't out there!
"Make sure that weapon is clear and point it down." -lays rifle on the seat, barrel pointing at the pilots back. 😂
haha noticed that as well :p
Bad Business; for sure. 👊🤠
I thought he laid it pointing towards the window but went back and look and you were right right at the pilots back
Flight mech cleared the weapon, and had more pressing matters to attend to(patient care).
Guns don't just shoot by themselves

Condolences to Garrett’s family. May he rest in peace.
