I am proud to be a United States Coast Guardsman. I revere that long line of expert seamen who by their devotion to duty and sacrifice of self have made it possible for me to be a member of a service honored and respected, in peace and in war, throughout the world. I never, by work or deed, will bring reproach upon the fair name of my service, nor permit others to do so unchallenged. I will cheerfully and willingly obey all lawful orders. I will always be on time to relieve, and shall endeavor to do more, rather than less, than my share. I will always be at my station, alert and attending to my duties. I shall, so far as I am able, bring to my seniors solutions, not problems. I shall live joyously, but always with due regard for the rights and privileges of others. I shall endeavor to be a model citizen in the community in which I live. I shall sell life dearly to an enemy of my country, but give it freely to rescue those in peril. With God's help, I shall endeavor to be one of His noblest Works - A UNITED STATES COASTGUARDSMAN. Written in 1938 by VADM Harry G. Hamlet, USCG, Commandant 1932-1936. |

I always liked this one. To the tune of "Pop Goes the Weasal"
I don't go out with girls anymore, I live a life of danger, I beat my &*(# and, live in the woods, Oops, I'm a Ranger. (I was not a Ranger, nor did I attend Ranger School)

Nope, I was a tanker.
We lugged around 100lbs of coal for when it got cold, and warmed our MRE's on the back deck of the tank. Just like going camping in a RV.

I think someone should add a disclaimer for the uninformed, however, that today is US Memorial Day.
I know I wouldn't have known about it if I wasn't reminded of it by a few Americans today :p So in a way it's a little Amero-Centric. Come on, throw us (numerous) foreigners here a clue so we don't make fools of ourselves! Naturally, salute to the servicemen!

A day late and a dollar short here as usual... At least I remembered to put my flag out yesterday morning.
To every soldier, sailor, marine, and airman that we have lost... especially of late... You were not "numbers." You were people. You were individuals. You were our best friends, brothers, sisters, and cousins... ...who had the courage to answer a call to serve... I may not know you... but I miss you. All of you. = |
