Pretty sad that I didn't know more about the US Coast Guard before visiting their station in Bellingham a few weeks ago, but by the time we left i could tell you that they were like policemen, search and rescue divers and ambulance drivers all wrapped into one job. Sounds like a pretty exciting job! We had a GREAT tour of the boats and station. The officer that showed us around had great patience with our kids, shared lots of interesting stories of her training in the Antarctic and answered lots of questions. She also showed the kids her gear and let them try it on! I would strongly encourage you to give them a call and line up a tour! Our kids would love to go back sometime.
