A coxswain is in charge of the overall vessel while you're out on the water

I see a line right here

I did five years of active duty in the Coast Guard. I got out to go into the reserve program. I happened to be leaving at the end of September in 2001 so I expected to be called back to active duty. It was a good opportunity to do something after the attacks and feel like I served my part

All out per wake

Homeland security to me means that the Coast Guard is using all of its assets to make sure our ports and waterways are secure from intrusion.

The tactical law enforcement teams, we're the last unit to be integrated with males and females and it was really an honor to be able to open doors for women being one of the first women to go a law enforcement team in the Coast Guard.

What I've enjoyed most about being in the Coast Guard is wearing different hats. I could be sitting at a desk one minute and hear an alarm and run out to the boat, go save somebody's life or fight a fire or save a boat that's sinking and then come back and finish my paper work go home and just think its all in a days work

Sector 77 roger we are moored in station.
