Trailer for "The Guardian"

Hell, if I were to be a helo pilot, I'd want to be a Coastie helo pilot (or a Cobra guy... either way it's cool)
Visions of a USCG swimmer coming to a liferaft of desperate people and capping all of them keep popping into my head. In a sick way, I keep chuckling to myself.
Why not Navy? Who do think is going to pick you up out of the drink?
Coastie helos primary duty is SAR (at least how I understand it) and they do it a lot. Cobra guys actually get to shoot stuff. Nothing against Navy helo at all, I've flown a couple when I was a middie and had a blast, but if I could choose a community to be a helo guy in, it'd be CG or Marine Cobra.
The number of saves a Coastie SAR crew gets vs. the number a typical Navy SAR crew gets are orders of magnitude apart. There's a LOT of starboard D between real missions in the Navy.
Plus, now the Coast Guard has it's own armed helicopter program. So, it could be the best of all worlds on the shallow water side of the house.

How about "Dude, Where's my SAR?"
Dude? DUDE ??? You think that helps ???
Having "been there" ....
How about: "Where's my SAR?"
That works .....

No, A4s; that was just a play on the title of a film the guy who plays the rescue swimmer (Ashton Kutcher) appeared in called "Dude, where's my car?" My thinking is it would be a good alternative title (or subtitle at least). :icon_mi_1
If I were a photo-shop ninja I would have done up a different poster with that title...alas, after a few minutes of trying I realized just how lame my pursuit was and how it was undeserving of more than 10 secs of effort.
And no, I never call folks "Dude" while circling overhead...not part of putting on the game face.
News flash for HercDriver:
I get it.
You guys just need to "walk away" from "Dude" ... just like "we" walked away from "MAN" in the '60's/70's ....
Both = the LOWEST common denominator in our white-bread society ...

Sure, should have figured they would have shown that classic on one of the flights your were in charge of. News flash received, and yeah, it does show a bit of laziness to address folks like that. But I think that many use those terms to quickly establish rapport with whomever they are talking to.
I'll support you in your efforts to get rid of 'dude' from todays lexicon...if you can also try to eradicate high-fiving as well. That also needs to go the way of the dodo bird.

Ah c'mon dude, you gotta just be cool, ya' know, keep it real, man!
The king kong Cold War SWO movie was the Bedford Incident
My favorite WWII SWO movies were
I've seen all of those except the Bedford Incident. I even own a few of them. The wife didn't like Mr. Roberts. She said it was a 2+ hour movie that could have told the same story in 10 minutes.
