Kevin, This ones for you...... The coast Guard anthem.......
SEMPER PARATUS
From Aztec shore to Arctic Zone
To Europe and Far East,
The flag is carried by our ships
In times of war and peace;
And never have we struck it yet
In spite of foeman’s might
Who cheered our crews, and cheered again
For showing how to fight
CHORUS: We’re always ready for the call,
We place our trust in Thee.
Through surf and storm and howling gale
High shall our purpose be,
"Semper Paratus" is our guide,
Our fame our glory, too,
To fight, to save, or fight and die!
Aye! Coast Guard, we are for you.
SURVEYOR and NARCISSUS,
The EAGLE and DISPATCH,
The HUDSON and the TAMPA,
The names are hard to match;
From Barrow’s shore to Paraguay,
Great Lakes or ocean’s wave,
The Coast Guard fought through storms and winds,
To punish or to save.
CHORUS
Aye, we’ve been "Always Ready"
To do, to fight, or die
Write glory to the shield we wear
In letters in the sky.
To sink the foe or save the maimed
Our mission and our pride,
We’ll carry on ‘till kingdom come
Ideals for which we’ve died.
CHORUS

What more is there to say!!! | | |
| What's happening All,
I have been very busy with work and I haven't gotten back to you about Colorado. Well needless to say that whole thing fell through.. O well, I have moved on to bigger and better things.
I have been doing a lot of soul searching and I realized that MY life, school, and career just wasn't going anywhere. Back when I was in high school I wanted to join the Coast Guard but I just felt at the time it wasn't right for me. So I went to college where I discovered one of my other passions, Fighting Fire and helping others. It has almost been 4 years since I graduated from high school and it seems like yesterday.
This year I have been taking off from school and working full time, 3 jobs.. Now after this tragic hurricane I feel that it is my way to help others in need. I am Joining the United States Coast Guard, I will be leaving in about a month for my basic training in Cape May, New Jersey. It will be a hard 8 weeks and then after that I will be going into an even harder 18 week advanced training to become an Aviation Survival Technician (AST), AKA a Rescue Swimmer. I would like to be stationed in Kodiak, Alaska because it is on the bearing sea. That has some of the worst weather in the world, and I also like the cold. Its just a little Island off the coast of Alaska up by Russia.
You can find out more about what I will be doing by going to the website : WWW.GOCOASTGUARD.COM
click on JOBS,
then click on JOBS, AND CARRERS,
click ENLISTED,
scroll down to Aviation Survival Technician (AST) and click on it.
So thats been whats happening with me. I will have a computer and Email as well as my phone in the service but not at basic training. feel free to write and or call me anytime (913) 484- 4437.
Talk to you later,
Soon to be Petty Officer 1st class
Adam Cook
