    Excellent video!! I was on one of the first boats sent over, the USCGC Walnut (WLB-205), or as we called her, ‘The WARnut’!!! Absolutely loved that deployment and as a SN, was extremely busy with everyday work/drills, to standing watch, and then acting basically as the boats GM, I PMS’d all of our .50cal machine guns, and all of our small arms after working all day and standing watch. Some days that’s what I did all day and all night. We had a phenomenal crew and I learned a lot from them all. This was my first unit out of boot and I was so excited that I got my first choice of “any billet in HI” and then three months or so after reporting and working those excellent TROP hours, we had quarters and were told that we were getting orders to Iraq 🤦‍♂️. I was a little worried and excited at the same time. We did extensive training prior to deploying and started that wonderful Anthrax vaccination series that I finished at my next duty station after GM A~School. Back then, 2004-2005, we couldn’t refuse the vaccines, but not long after we deployed DOD/DHS/USCG changed it to that you could refuse them, but couldn’t be deployed and would be transferred to the group or land based unit. Anyways, I loved that deployment and I actually put in for multiple bullets after I got to my unit after A~School, Group Cape Hatteras, which we ended up decommissioning. Phenomenal job on the video!!

      "The Strait of Hormuz, located between Oman and Iran, connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most important oil chokepoint because of the large volumes of oil that flow through the strait. In 2018, its daily oil flow averaged 21 million barrels per day (b/d), or the equivalent of about 21% of global petroleum liquids consumption." - www.eia.gov/ (U.S. Energy Information Administration) published, June 20, 2019
