MILITARY
To love your country...
despite its government. Respond to a call for service, not from propaganda or necessity, but from an understanding of fulfillment and obligation
Indoctrination: A life in Hell brings us closer to God. A cut-throat process designed to periodically turn young men and women into soldiers. Louder, faster, moving with a purpose. Every passing minute feels like a battle - chaos is structured, discipline is instilled, character is built. There's no giving up, because there is no way out. Locked into a contract with each other as we look to our side and appreciate the individuals we march with. If ONE fails, we ALL fail. The standards expected to save lives and assist those in need requires integrity and teamwork. Support your fellow comrade and carry them to the finish-line.
Search and Rescue: Short nights and cold mornings. The crew at station becomes family. The job never ends when we live life on the water - tranquil and meditating, cruel and unforgiving. 3am Body Recoveries. 11pm missing persons. 10pm suicide-attempt response...
Day in the life: Not all postings are high speed. Counter-drug and migrant interdictions are front-page worthy, but the behind-the-scenes work is critical. Different jobs have different responsibilities. Some members work on environmental conservation, some are in charge of engineering inventory, and others are organizing administrative paperwork. Everyone can't do everything, but everything needs to be done by someone. Each cog in the machine works towards the same mission - save lives and defend our homeland.
​​
Honor, Respect, and Dedication to our duty will live with us forever. Legacy is engraved.
