So much better than anything on Netflix.
After working (and retiring @ 20 years) USAF combat rescue on HH-60's, I think I would have enjoyed this just as much. Coast Guard doesn't get enough recognition for what they really do.
yeah - theyre usually the punchline for military jokes but they have incredibly hard jobs and do it remarkably well
Chris - Trail name: Thumper No joke. I think it could be, in part, that there’s no room here for knuckleheads or bravado. You’ve got to be fucking nails and cool as a fish doing it. These guys make it sound like an episode of “The Office” but we all see the crazy shit they just flew into to help others. It’s why this series is so alluring; I’m glad I found it.
Thank you for your service Chris.
Thanks For your,Service Chris. Happy Thanksgiving,to all on here.
Chris - You were a PJ? Were you guys fully trained paramedics?
I did ok on my PT tests but I am super glad it wasn't televised..
Roger that! I was in a different branch. But I did well on my test. Still I agree! I’m so glad there is no video of it! 😂😂
Love you Kodiak Alaska
President USA.x
We're you scared?
I absolutely love these video, my Son is on his 12th yr in the CG. I'm so very proud of him..he is planning on retiring with them.
You have a right to be proud. I was in the Air Force and really enjoyed it. But if I had it to do over, I would strongly consider the CG. At the time I just didn’t know anything about it. We didn’t have TH-cam 33 years ago. LOL.
❤
Native American, wow your family is doing a great thing..I'm super proud of them just hearing this...I have 2 Sons oldest Army field Art. I st Cav, Iraq 06-08, and my youngest is CG...I have many people ask me why I would let both my son's enter the Military, my reply was I done something right..I also a female Deputy were I live...and the best is we are Cherokee, I was also trained by a full blooded Apache Indian at the Sheriff's dept in Defence...love love love it...when my youngest gets out in 8 yrs, he want to go into Law Enforcement (which he is currently doing in CG). Thank you for your Families Service in this Great Country of ours.
You & your son should check out Canada's SAR teams. th-cam.com/video/F_jHRt5Lkq0/w-d-xo.html
I am in indian coast Guard
No. No. Seizure doesn’t mean you go into cardiac arrest. Breathing can become ineffective which can cause cardiac arrest. But having run dozens of seizure calls that has never happened to me. It’s very rare that that occurs.
Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it never happens
Agreed. It's rare and this guy was basically saying it like it's the norm. I've had seizures for almost a decade and only once have I stopped breathing during seizures. However I will say that they WERE concerned enough about me going into cardiac arrest that they stopped the ambulance on route to get another medic on board, so I guess it can happen
@@helloneighbor11he never said it never happens he just corrected the guy in the video who was making it sound like it’s a regular thing
@@adamatch9624 fair enough
I live in British Columbia, Canada! I have never really thought about the Coast Guard before, but since watching for awhile now. I realize that they go above and beyond.Thank you for the men and women in Canada and the States for being heros every day ❤️😃🇨🇦🇺🇸
A note seizing does not always mean your heart and breathing stops that should have been clarified a bit
Massive respect to Coast Guard everywhere. Absolute heroes.
God Bless these hero’s 🙏
That's so sad, the man dying. Those coast guard guys worked so hard to save his life.😔
I'm watching this series, in 22, found myself hitting the thumbs up at the beginning of everyone, followed by tears in some, absolutely beautiful, absolutely above and beyond, hero's each and every one of you, from the mechanics to the pilot's and everyone in between, you save lives. Ty
My daughter was a medic in Iraq for Delta Force. She would have made a super corpsman/paramedic in coast guard. Instead she became a doctor back home in Oklahoma.
Please thank her for her service from a stranger. I’m grateful.
congrats on your retirement sir praying for safe and long retirement thanks for service
I could see it in their eyes as they were telling the story that that kid did not make it. The people of the Coast Guard are strong, brave and compassionate.
Se le dio una oportunidad de vivir hasta el ultimo suspiro, que gran labor Dios los bendiga ..😊
They deserve another level of honor i served in the army calvary and vary few have ever qualified for this job in water rescue the us coast guard are number one
Agreed! I was in the Air Force. All of the branches sort of poke fun at the Coast Guard, but I never have. I think they are the only branch who have a relevant and important mission 24/7 regardless of what else is happening around the world. When there are no wars or engagements going on, they are still hard at it either rescuing or performing law enforcement functions. Have you ever seen their sniper program where they take out the engines of the hi speed “go fast” boats in order to stop them from running drugs? They shoot a fast moving boat in the engine block bouncing on waves from a moving helicopter. That’s pretty bad ass.
We need to start giving the Coasties more credit as a service.
@@srcastic8764 the sniper program you are speaking of is called hitron and they are legit bada$$ they beat marine snipers back in 2018 in the international sniper competition so they are no joke
Thank you all for your service.🇺🇸❤️
The freckle-faced kid looks about 12 years old but when you see his eyes for a moment there is strong, determined and dedicated adult inside.
😊😊
thas me bro
Love these guys but, as an epileptic myself, I am shocked at their lack of knowledge around seizures.
I too have all the admiration for these guys as well. My last seizure was 12-15 minutes and still here doing ok. Albeit it was probably one of my longest episodes.
Amazing, and sometimes there is what is called "octal asystole" but most of the time the pulse speeds up during a seizure.
Man that poor diver in the first rescue poor guy hit the rail twice then slammed on the deck
Hats off to the CG
Awesome
So grateful for emergency workers. My husband has been an EMT for 36 years, volunteering for Upland, Indiana. Thank you to all the people who keep us safe.
❤
Prayers and praise for the coast guard.
That's got to be so hard on the crew when they lose one they did everything they possibly could see that person what they lost them I still say thank you to the coast guard for all they do
Watching these episodes based in Kodiak give me so much nostalgia!! I used to live on Kodiak, and I learned how to swim in that Coast Guard pool. And the rodeo was always such a fun event, my sister had our dog in the agility contest. I miss that town
Same here! My parents were stationed in Kodiak, I really really loved that town. I'd love to go back one day and get a burger at Henry's or even retire there.
You're totally AWESOME Danger ❤ all your uploads 😁 Cat from OZ who loved the outback hunters 😉 remember me?
United States Coast Guard, The Baddest Of The BAD ASS! My uncle served and made the U.S.C.G his career of choice to his death! R.I.P Henry Hildebrand - rank ( CAP ) Chief Aviation Pilot.
You should be very proud, as I'm sure you are.
Unreal, what these guys do in a hoist!!! Bless your ever-lovin' hearts!!!
As a 20 year LEO, now retired, I have done CPR more than I can count. Unfortunately, I have seen the life drain from someone. It hits hard.
❤. Respect from 🇬🇧.
BRAVE SAVIOURS IN RED!👍
Much respect for these men and women who risk their lives to help others...
Glad to see Alaskans appreciating the role of the Federal government.
this test is like being a seal team test it is best you what the best in the CG
Not an intended criticism (interpreting what someone was saying from a short clip) but for the sake of clarity regarding a statement made in the opening scenes:
When someone is having a seizure (as in generalized, AKA grand mal) their heart does not stop beating. They are typically not breathing, and/or unable to maintain an open airway, but this does not stop their heart from beating. On an ECG or cardiac monitor, it may look as if they have no organized heart beat because the muscle contraction of the seizure is "drowning out" the lower voltage signal of their heart beat. A seizure can lead to a cardiac arrest in a variety of circumstances, of course, but it's not something that happens every time.
Basic first aid should be calling for help, protecting yourself and the patient from harming themselves (by banging into something/falling off a chair/bed), and opening the airway with a head tilt-chin lift maneuver (NOT sticking anything in their mouth....)
*insert "The More You Know" meme*
I feel for Bunch an the rest of the coast guard. I don't know how this guy fell 200 ft and ended up on a boat.. Ugh prayers to the families
His fellow crewmates would have moved him from where he landed.
@@LadyTarasque duh. The point they were making is how do you fall 18 stories and not be immediately dead.
These folks in here dunking on airman lawson are pathetic. That man is stronger than you ever will be, have some respect for a serviceman who wants to save lives. Honestly, what's wrong with you?
Not really. Those standards are pretty minimal. And in the military you don't get respect just for intentions, but for the amount of work that you've put in. New guys have a lot of work to do to earn that respect from others that have been in far longer and accomplished far more.
And if those more experienced guys are worth their salt, they will support the new guys by not coddling them, by being critical and tough on them, and insuring they learn and do everything they need to, else get filtered out.
Wow, nice retirement ceremony.... Even have a cake....! In the Non-Dept of Transportation Military, ( Army Navy Marines ) You're lucky if you're going to get paid when you leave... "Don't let the door hit you in the ass..."
These people are just amazing! Their job is not an easy one. They get it done no matter what.
Is it not difficult enough to work for coast guard national guard in Alaska the most dangerous cold and inhospitable lands and waters in the USA but to be guardians to the fishermen and their vessels those who train and sign up for this duty are definitely a special breed hat off to you guys and your families for the sacrifice for duty you risk everything so others can survive send them the bill after all is said and done
He said there is no pulse while seizing, but that's not the case, pt might not be breathing but has a pulse.
Its pretty hard to take a pulse while seizing and they dont have heart monitors i the chopper
@@ginger_nosoul if the patient has no pulse he his in cardiac arrest and there is no seizure activity, but you are right without the proper equipment it might be hard to detect, especially in this environment
Whatever these men & women get paid to serve us, it’s not enough. Thank you for your service. We are deeply in your debt.
the dude that died fell 20 stories off a mountain he was lucky or unlucky to live as long as he did afterwards. Bless his family!
Way to ruin it foe those who just started watching
Thank you Coast Guard have helped my family on fishing boats a couple of time. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Im horrified how much this would cost since ambulance is $500 per pick up
Helicopters are very versatile. Great machines
All of you coast guards are just amazing I admire you so much for your bravery and dedication thank you and God bless you
These videos are excellent and are very impressive and informative about this field of extreme emergency operations! However one point, that others have mentioned, is that, surely, "beauty is cloaked by danger" should be "danger is cloaked by beauty" or, more simply, "beauty cloaks danger"?
Yeah, I've thought the same thing when listening to their tagline.
John, It’s called another day here in Alaska, Kodiak. Simple! Get it now???😳😉
I understand the need for the Chief to be the badass in the intake situation but I would have like to have seen him jump in and show the new guys how many pull-ups and so forth he could do. It would have been great video and very inspiring to see him going through the test with them.
there IS a pulse during a seizure. I know because my son is epileptic
It’s crazy that the rescue swimmers have to go down to get the survivors, swim to them, buckle them in to the basket/litter, etc and then immediately asses vitals & render care once they get back into the helo.
I know. He even operates the radio! It’s like, what the hell do the other guys on the helo even do? The flight mechanic doesn’t do anything but push the hoist buttons. Seems like he could at least share in the médica stuff. Or maybe at least work the damn radio! 😂😂
@@srcastic8764 the flight mechanic is doing a lot more than it appears. They are instructing the pilot on where the diver and survivor are, if there’s waves or debris to watch for, how high to hover, if the boats moving how fast and where, keeping the rotor wash off the survivor by telling the pilot where to hover, etc. all people on a heli are overly qualified with lots of responsibilities.
@@brycemccarthy244 I know he does. I was just joking. You might could have known that by the not one but two laughter faces I put at the end to indicate that it was a joke. You must be a Coastie. So sensitive! 😂😂. (
I'm so glad you commented that so I don't have to!##
Is there no landing pad on top of the hospital?
This is the time of their lives.
why are there no comments??? I love this show, I am addicted!!! I truly appreciate all the men and women of the Coast Guard and especially Coast Guard Alaska. While I have never had the need for their services(I live in Ohio so a am a wee bit farther then they go) nor the opportunity to meet any one personally I am grateful for the sense of peace and security their presence imbues throughout Alaska. Their dedication, professionalism, and integrity radiates off the screen and is inspiring as far away as Ohio. To merely say thank you does not express all that I long to say but I can not find words to sufficiently convey my heartfelt appreciation to all the men and women of all the armed forces past, present and sadly, future. I do long for the day when there will be true peace on earth and no longer a need for the military but until then thank you and please stay safe. Rhesa Haylee
I am right with you Rhesa! I love this show and how it highlights the bravery and dedication they present. It is a service that deserves way more exposure than they get.
Alaska is always here! Come visit anytime!
@@juliahaynie2910 It is on my dream list.
Alaska, Kodiak island, no place compares! Simple!😉👍
You guys should be so proud for what you do. Love watching your achievement s. From one happy kiwi who has been up your way. Love the place. Be proud of what you do. God bless you all.
Your intro makes no sense, danger doesn’t cloak beauty. Beauty cloaks the danger.
i'm sorry to sound so picky, and i understand that this channel has nothing to do with the production of this video. but, shouldn't the intro commentary be opposite of what it is. shouldn't they say; alaska, where danger is cloaked by beauty...? guess i'm just stating an observation.
This truly is selfless Heroism, these Crew's are utterly dedicated to saving lives, and if it is medically possible, they will succeed.
Unfortunately, there are unjuries from which the victim can never recover, but that person had the very best help to live, but their injuries were too great.
I hope that the families learn of the dedication to saving their beloved family member that the Crew's showed, and that everything possible was done to help them at their most vulnerable time!
it seems like every single "Coast Guard alaska florida ext" vids they go we dont have the fuel for this no fuel ext I feel like they need to find a way to bring more or rethink their launch stations....
If that's a problem every mission you would think it would warrant a change...
Hello. Thank you for your service CG. There was nothing you could have done. Congratulations on your retirement! Be safe out there people
God bless all of you!
These people are amazing their skill and bravery is number 1.
If ever I one day get into trouble, I want these guys on my side!
I would like to tell you a nice story. I am a Canadian. South coast BC most of my life. North Coast last 20 yrs. Pretty sure my brother in law a senior 64 pilot, because we talked about it, would say those boys are spam in a can. Highest praise ever. They fly they work in the worst conditions possible. Mighty brave crew. On a light note: many years ago, 70ies or 80ies a float plane went down in the entrance to Victoria harbour. Within spitting distance of the Canadian Coast guard base. USCG arrived first out Washington. 26-30 miles away. After that all the good mariners knew “ you need help call USCG. “. They will respond asap. Cant thank you enough.
2:12 Thats a cool place to keep a spyderco. Only knife guys will understand.
My kershaw doesn’t look good up there /: only hidden it looks good
i hope the airmen got to see a vid like this one, to see what it takes to be a rescue swimmer. i love the way kevin costnor put it, "it's not your job to pronounce them, your job is to rescue them." I'm probably paraphrasing
Real Heros.. not athletes.. not movie stars..not musicians.. Real Heros and not many people watching them when they do act heroically,, just people in serious trouble and if you are in serious trouble
these Men must look like Angels...
Ugh I had a feeling that swimmer emt and crew tried everything they could rip.
the defib pads look like they are wrong side
I hope you all down in the lower 48 realize, these coast guard here in Kodiak, Sitka are the best! Our weather, terrain, etc... no place even compares, plus even better is most in the guard realize how unique, special Alaska is! Simple!
Rescue swimmers are no joke!! The entire crew are way above us mere mortals!!
Hello people
These men and women are awesome.
Why did it take 9 years for this video to be released?
over 12 minutes for a mile and half he needs to have a word with himself
No kidding
This was the Toughest Episode. Semper Paratus God bless
Ad 1of2 dude Ripped the beat!!!!! Killed it tho!!!!
US Coast Guard Thank you for all you do
Kids improvement is to come don’t get discouraged
I’m glad for the job the instructors do
in any branch the Instructors are there to lift you up
amidst the yelling and hollering
Yelling and hollering louder than Lil Wayne hollers Hollygrove lol
All that is for a reason
It’s all for a reason. A good one!
The words of encouragement from drill instructor during a demanding physical exercise are invaluable
words are powerful
Dodge Demon horsepower
If you always make lemonade
You would get my analogy
I truly wish I could’ve been a medic on this type of these crews for even just a few years. Or even just a civilian flight medic in Alaska. Unfortunately I was born with a genetic illness which has significantly affected my joints & multiple other areas of my body. As well as birth defects in both hips & both knees. Which without the genetic illness & with surgery on both knees I most likely could’ve worked just fine in the civilian field. I know both conditions would prevent me from any active services in any branch of the military. I worked locally for 5yrs as a paramedic with 3 of those as a flight medic & also as a flight nurse for the final year. I would typically work 1-2 days/wk as flight & then 2-3dys/wk as ground. Once it got to the point my body just couldn’t safely handle the work I transitioned to being a nurse in the ER. But I was only able to physically manage that job for just over 3yrs. But at just 32yrs old my body had just reached a tipping point. It was FAR earlier than I wanted or honestly expected. I KNEW my illness is progressive & that I would be disabled relatively young. For it to happen at only 32...that was hard to come to grips with. I’m 38 now & my condition has continued to worsen since then. However I was smart enough to do duel majors knowing I wouldn’t be physically able to be a paramedic or nurse for as long as most. So I’m trying to get a position teaching high school history online since COVID has opened up many such jobs. But I sure do miss being a paramedic. If I had perfect health being a flight medic would be my absolute dream career & wouldn’t retire until health or age made me unable to safely do the job.
You can usually tell who will wash out. I developed shin splints in a different program. I made it but I cried like a baby because of pain. I wouldn't quit. I was pushed to my limits. Shin splints suck. Thank you for your service.
Rescue swimmer shop supervisor, Charley Fowler; tough, good at his job, but I’d hate to be his kid growing up.
It's so good to see this back on this channel. I so admire each and everyone of these Men and Women that Service theirs Country. God Bless and keep each and everyone and their family.
Remarkable job
Alaska's beautiful, makes me want to move out there or at least vacation/visit. These guys are heroes...it's a job I wouldn't mind doing but I'm not a great swimmer so I'd fail that part of the test. :)
What's a coreman?
I think the fitness things apart from the swimming etc where a bit harsh
Until watching this program I had no idea about the Coast Guard. To say I’m impressed, is an understatement! Just an amazing group of young people. First class, no slackers or just cruzing by to get by! They are smart and reliable. Bet none of these guys get tossed in the Brig.
It is so good to know how much they are appreciated by their community and have their full support! These guys deserve every bit of respect!
Not accurate about seizures not having a pulse or breathing! Was really surprised to hear him say that. Hes basically saying you die during one. I have seizures and im definitely still alive during it! Although its IS ACCURATE that sometimes you can stop breathing during them, but that is an extreme thing, not the norm. Ive had seizures for almost 10 years and only once did i have episodes where i stopped breathing
When a patient had a seizures they still have a pulse wtf. It's usually very high , not absent.
Kodiak is definitely better than Florida! Good choice!
What good are standards when you don't enforce them? If the run is a max of 12:00 min, therefore 12:15 is not passing. You do the service and public no good to put a person forward that doesn't meet the standards. The run is only an 8:00 minute run. That should be nothing for a young man. The candidate can go back and work out until he meets the standards and apply again. Further, if he is not willing to put out 100% in a non-stressful environment, what's going to happen at night in a rough sea?
I appreciate all these guys do. Saving lives in crazy situations and all. But i can't help laugh watching these guys do their PT. I see why every other branch calls them pussies😂
New Orleans Emts have a machine that administrator's CPR for you so it don't stop I hope now that the USCG has them now also because those could really help while up in the air and can save a life while they are doing other things to help try and save the person..
you did everthing you could, YOU DID EVERTHING YOU COULD. Thanks for your service
My brave USCG man, who did tell you that there is no breathing and pulse while having a seizure? You better refresh some medical knowledge.
Who taught this genius EMT skills? Who ever said you lose a pulse with a seizure or stop breathing? Absolutely not true. You need some training buddy.
Why they don’t have a doctor in board like usually the emergency helicopters in Europe ? Survivors can’t get stable before the transport, like they stopped cpr several times
I feel bad for the young man who has lost his dream at this time. But after watching the others who are competing for a swimmers job he just didn’t have the mental or physical strength. A person has to have the drive. This is not just a job but a lifestyle. The officer giving the tests could see the guy fell short.
Pulses are present during a seizure. They may be hard to appreciate and detect because of movement in the patient, but a seizure is not a cardiac arrest. People can have seizure-like movement going into a cardiac arrest, and a seizure can precipitate a cardiac arrest, but that statement was incorrect.
On large boats there is a wave pivot point than moves much up and down far less. I assume the pro's know that I just wonder why they don't utilize it. I'm sure there is a reason
