Coast Guard doesn't have to call in the Marines to save their asses (I've learned a thing or two from OK PANIC)

good find andy. it's nice to read that this actually does happen to the i-clubbers in the armed forces.

i've witnessed a few situations recently where this did not happen, and it made me sick. i always make a point to thank a few of them as they walk by.

awesome find. my cousin spent almost 2 years overs sea's in Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkey and a bunch of other places while active and we always gave him and fellow troops a round of applause for the dedication and efforts when they return home. care packages also go a LOOONG way for them!
