    Being a coast gaurd rescue swimmer is probably one of the most bad ass jobs on the planet following very closely by a coast gaurd Blackhawk pilot. The reason they use Blackhawks is because no other helicopter has the lifting capacity to be able to fly them and their massive brass balls into hurricanes... so freaking bad ass

      The Coast Guard uses Jayhawks which are very similar to Blackhawks.

      ​@@brandonguarrasi they rescue men fighting meaningless wars in 3rd world countries, while Coast Guard is in America(where they should be) protecting and saving American lives every single day.

      ⁠@@ElGaby323yes that’s what we do 🤡 domestic operations for PJs is far greater than our overseas foot print. Harvey , sandy , titan sub, temar vessel, katrina , human space flight recovery etc . Don’t speak on what you don’t know

    Toxic masculinity - again. BTW, how did you fit 21 bodies in a 'Hawk? They must have been Central American. Any danger of "torque-ing out?" Good job from the whole team!

      The more weight you add, the more fuel you burn so it evens out.
