Preparing To Go Underway

Well, we are preparing to get underway again.  They say this patrol will be a relatively short one.
We are supposed to be going to places, that I am not presently at liberty to say.  I can't say where I am going because of operational security.  The Coast Guard wouldn't want the bad guys to know what our agenda is.  The last time we went underway we got some not-so-reliable intel from another government agency that turned out to be nothing.
So, in order to protect our mission and the nation from devious acts of sabotage, I am censoring this blog post.

CG Update

Well I haven't posted in a long time.  Yes, I am in the Coast Guard.  I am stationed aboard the Vigorous which is a 210' medium endurance cutter.  I am learning all the ins and outs of being a sailor and really loving it.  So far I have only been on one patrol.  We went south and sailed the old Spanish Main.  Unfortunately, I haven't had a run in with a kraken yet or seen any mermaids, but I remain hopeful.
