Veteran's Day
Been thinking about my grandson this Veteran's Day and, since I've bragged about him here before, thought I'd give an update on what he's up to: He enlisted in the USCG a few years ago and, in accordance with CG policy, spent his first two years after basic training serving aboard a Coast Guard Cutter doing mostly drug intervention cruises as an unrated (E3) "striker". During this time he qualified for boarding party teams and became eligible for further training. He applied for and was accepted for training to become part of the USCG "Special Forces" and recently completed training in San Diego, as a member of the CG "TACLET" -- (TACtical Law Enforcement Teams). Following graduation in San Diego (and promotion to Petty Officer) he received orders and is currently attending a final phase with the US Marines at Camp Lejeune, NC for additional training, mostly in hand to hand combat, after which he will be assigned to the USCG Deployable Specialized Forces. I am going to keep on his good side. :-) |
