- What's up you wonderful folks!!! Here in episode 2 om my VLOG I go through something that a lot of folks have had questions about, What is the US Coast Guard and what do you do?
I'm going to take you through my 18+ years of service.
Hope you enjoy and let me know in the comments if you have any questions.

Thanks for your story. My son is graduating boot camp at cape may in 6 days. I haven’t heard all of his stories yet, but he said it’s the hardest thing he has ever done.
It’s a lot harder then people think but the end result is worth it!!
I love your perspective on ending how you started! That's a such a good way of looking at it :)
Gotta keep the positive vibes. The next year is going to be rough away from the fam.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing!!!! Thank you for your service !!!!
Thanks for watching, and know it’s outside my normal fishing content.
That was so awesome 👍 lot of stuff i never knew about the coast guard. You wore many hats throughout your career. Thanks for your service 🙏
Thanks for watching brother, yeah it’s been quite the ride.
I just found your videos. I watched the Penbryn Lake video. Then discovered you are in or retiring from USCG. I served back in 80's and 90's. Enlisted to Officer. I did a tour on 378 Jarvis as DCA. My son is now in serving in the CG and a YN2 at Cape May. I had a great time serving and have good friends both enlisted and officer ranks. Good Luck on your retirement! I look forward to checking out the rest of your videos. Fair Winds and Following Seas!
Thanks for the comment and for watching some videos!!! Yeah I officially retired on February 2023
This is awesome man, great story, great background!
Thank you, it been a crazy ride through it all

First off, thank you so much for your service! I know this life can’t be easy...I’m glad your getting a lot of time with your kids now! Great video and I’ll be praying for you and your family. This next year and a half will fly by.
JBO, I really appreciate it man. Definitely maximizing the time I have with the family right and you’re 100 percent right in that it’ll fly by. Again thanks brother 👊👊👊
Mission accomplished. It's magical.
Thank you.
Man this was a great video. Loved learning about your background in the Coast Guard.
Thank you for your service brother.
Thank you brother for watching. It’s been a crazy 18 years
Damn, I was over it after 8 years!!! But I was always at a station. We both went in the same year 2003 I went in February. Ya, they called me little Arnold cuz I was a big body builder then. This idiot right when we got our company commanders was talking to me and they called me and him over there. Made us hold a one arm push up for like 15 minutes. I made it he didn't. Then laroach my commander says it sucks when someone else gets u in trouble. They respected me after that. I had PO Emrick and PO Laroach and my company commanders, and they called Emrick little Satan. He was nuts. I went in the dead winter, and he would walk around in a short leave shirt when we had jackets. Dude wasn't tall but he was one tough as dude.
What company were you? I was E-164

awesome video. thanks for sharing your experiences
Thanks for watching
This is awesome, in my opinion. The background of it, and how personal it is, is really cool. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Aaron, this was definitely outside my comfort zone talking about some of my experiences outside of fishing.
That is quite the Journey, Alex. 💪
It’s been a ride for sure 👊👊
How old are you? I was born is April 85. Thank you for your service. I appreciate guys that spend there life saving our country. My brother is a marine. I think the coast guard does way more for us the most people think they do. No matter your journey I’ll be following... 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Thank you so much for the support man!!! I’m April 84!!!!
@@Bassandbrewsfishingpodcast I’m April 11th. I have my first kayak tournament on the 17th so I’ll be pre fishing hard this weekend.

Hey man great video I leave for boot camp June 22nd I leave for A school sept 9th for OS pretty excited
That’s freaking awesome man. Enjoy the ride and remember it’s all what you make it to be. You will get thrown some curveballs but it’s about how you react to them!!!
Great video! Interesting hearing about your career!
Thank you man. I appreciate it.
Great vlog man. Cool to see this side of you 🤙
Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate the support especially on video outside of my comfort zone
I really enjoyed listening and watching your video! I'm going to A school for Damage Control, I'd really love to hear any input you have about a DC, if you knew anyone or meant any of them, I'd like to hear what it'll be like. Thanks for your service!
Some of the coolest people I’d meet in the CG were DCs. It’s a tough job though. You will be in the trenches so to speak while on a cutter. Upside is you’ll learn tons of skills that translate outside the CG. Good luck at school and stay safe.
@@Bassandbrewsfishingpodcast are you still in the coast guard?
