About our staff
Our staff is composed of a retired US Coast Guard Senior Chief Petty Officer and his ever faithful Siberian Huskie “Liberty”. If you ever feel a need to contact me, I can be reached by writing to John. Be sure to put CGNews in the subject line or my spam filter WILL reject it.
John, I love the website!!! If I can ask a question, i’m thinking about joining the coast guard in a couple years and would like to know what is required to become a helicopter pilot. If you have time please respond. Thank You Bryan
Other than being an officer, I’m not sure of any of the requirements. Try checking at http://www.gocoastguard.com
Bryan, check out the Blue 21 program… also, swing by CGBlog.org; I know a while back we had some stuff that might be of use to you… you can also contact us there if you have more questions.
I’m a subscriber of yours on YouTube. I was wondering if all the videos that you post here are also posted there? Thanks.
Not all videos are on YouTube. They are posted to Revver first and later make it to YouTube. Sometimes they never make it to YouTube.
You can view them at Revver at http://www.revver.com/u/CoastGuardNews/
