So were you in the CG? Many of our other members were.

No I wasn't, but I know a lot of Coasties and have a great respect for the Coast Guard. They are extremely under funded and heavily over worked, and they don't ever seem to get the respect that they deserve.

Totally agree - about the respect, in particular. But that's due to a lack of knowledge, don't you think? I certainly have developed a much deeper respect since I've learned more about them. They are tops in my book now!

As the old Coast Guard saying goes, "We've done so much with so little for so long that we will continue to do everything with nothing forever".

That is such a sad statement, Rich; I'm sure it's very accurate, though.

Yep, heared that saying from several Coasties.
I believe LCDR Teschendorf was the last CO of the SUNDEW (WLB 404), and then became the first CO of the ALDER (WLB 216).
