Has anyone ever heard of Navy Helo pilots getting duty at Coast Guard search and rescue stations?

Navy Stationed with the Coast Guard

Won't say it's never ever happened, but I can't think of when or why it would.
On the other hand, a girl who was in my old squadron is now at the CG Group in San Fran doing some sort of intel/forcepro thing. She just wanted to go there because her hubby was going to grad school out there, and she dug around until she found a joint billet.

I don't know of any "joint" billets for flying...We have a 60 variant that hasn't been seen in the Navy for a while and the Dolphin...so the time to train might be part of the reason. We don't have a great need to augment our pilot numbers either (at least not from what I have seen/heard- we are shy a few bodies...but not THAT many)
but like Kow said- LOTS of folks have moved on from the Navy and into the Coast Guard...at a cost of whatever their Navy rank was to LTJG in the CG.

Are you sure? I was in the hanger next to them and didn't see any Navy types; plus they fly dolphins.
I've never heard of any programs with the US Navy.
We do have exchange programs with the Canadian and British Royal Navy though on both fixed and rotary wing.

Are you asking about a joint billet, or just being co-located? There are places a Navy helo guy could be co-located with Coasties (San Diego comes to mind), but joint billets, not so much.
and in that same vain- There are times that Navy units "stand by" for CG units. I've heard of P-3's flying SAR coverage. and a helo unit out of Hawaii took over for CG Air Station Barber Point after a mishap last year.
I didn't think about it before- Why do you ask about joint tours??
No we don't do any exchange tours with other US services but we do have instructors at Pcola but that isn't what you are asking. As it was posted earlier, we do have some pilots from other countries flying with us though. British, Canadian, and a bunch of Australians.
