My dad did something similar....USAF fighter pilot, volunteered for 'Nam, and part of survival school was a water rescue, at Hurlburt Field. He was deployed out of a speedboat on a parachute lofted several hundred feet- and then disconnected. What he enjoyed most: "Survival school in Florida- in July, got me ready for the humidity in Vietnam...which is oppressive". Two tours w/ the 1st. SOS, flying close air support, rescues (Sandy 1), and secret ops....NOT in Vietnam. Still alive, well, and ticking at 93....and everyone that he ever knew, is gone.

Great video! I have the upmost respect for these Coast Guard rescue swimmers. My heart was racing during this video ! It brought back a memory of me being caught in a RIP current and tried surviving in it for over 5 minutes. What an exhausting feat I must say for a very good swimmer, fighting the swells and the current plus an increase in heart rate, consuming oxygen crazy FAST ! What kept me alive until help arrived was staying calm and coaching myself to breathe and relax throughout my ordeal . After swallowing gallons of ocean water and at the point of exhaustion, I was rescued by 4 professional lifeguards that commended me for my stamina, actions and calmness in a very bad RIP current. God Bless you all that keep us safe and the training and personal strength to preserver to do what you do. Thank you to our U.S. Coast Guard

I ended up joining the Navy, retiring as a Chief, just like my grandfather. BTW - The Navy has Rescue Swimmers that go through equally as tough training. In fact the first USCG Rescue Swimmers went to the Navy school in Pensacola. The USCG has since stood up their ow training pipeline.

I live and sail in southeast Alaska and have witnessed firsthand the skills of the USCG in the very cold waters here. Our local sailing club sponsors races in remote parts of the Alaska panhandle and I teach members some boating safety classes, including the 'rules' of racing so boats can safely navigate in close proximity. These rescue swimmers are highly trained individuals who literally put their lives on the line to save others. The first rule on my boat is 'don't fall overboard' and the second rule is 'don't fall overboard'. I have special equipment onboard to hoist a crew member out of the water and I always carry a satellite communicator with an SOS button, just in case. There's a Coast Guard series on KZitem called 'Coast Guard Alaska' that is quite good. They embedded camera crew with the guys/gals on the choppers and film actual rescues in some of the very worst conditions, including winds up to 80 knots in the middle of winter. It only takes one misstep for someone to find themselves in a life or death situation here. Hope you get the chance to watch a few of the videos and I appreciate your channel!
