Brains and Braun! 🧠💪

Congratulations to our recent graduates, Carl DiGiorgio, Mike Edwards, and Nate F**t for their nominations and selections to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District Team for 2026!

These three are continued examples of what is possible here at the United States Coast Guard Academy on and off the mat!

Do you believe in sea monsters? 🫣

Wait until you see the collection of sea monsters 1/c Jackson Bauer has pulled out of the sea so far this summer! 🎣🐡

Along the way, you’ll also see some of the ins and outs of a Coast Guard buoy tender!

Bauer has been stationed on a buoy tender out Newport, RI for five weeks now. So, what the heck is a buoy tender? ⬇️

Buoy Tenders are charged with:
👉 Servicing and maintaining navigation buoys
👉 Establishing, removing, or relocating ATONs (aids to navigation)
👉 Conducting waterway surveys and inspections
👉 Supporting maritime safety and emergency response operations
👉 SAR cases, environment protection efforts, miscellaneous homeland security missions

Why are they so attractive for Officers?
🌊 In addition to the mission they carry out, they are also in high demand due to their typically shorter underway schedule
🌊 Most coastal buoy tenders will up underway from as short as a singular day, up to about two weeks only
🌊 Larger buoy tenders off Alaska could go out for 4-6 weeks in some cases

Bauer gives us an MTV cribs style tour of his new digs and, we gotta be honest…. It looks pretty sweet!

Want to see the most unique view of the sky at night? A view you can only get at sea? Last slide has your name on it then! 🔭🌠

Think you can out fish JB? Drop the name and length of the biggest fish you’ve ever caught and we’ll have him weigh in 🐠

✈️🚁⁉️ Take a sneak peak behind the curtain of the CAT-P experience offered by the US Coast Guard Academy!

We’ve all seen the movies of the guys and gals jumping out of helicopters, making the saves, and being bad asses. Hollywood has made this part of the Coast Guard famous.

But let’s take a deeper dive…

Search and rescue is a massive component of the Coast Guard’s mission. Coast Guard Officers won’t be the ones jumping out of the helicopters, but they will be the ones piloting them.

Search and rescue consists of lost ships, lost swimmers, but also protection and life saving services of migrants attempting to enter the country. When their make-shift vessels go down, the Coast Guard rescues them.

These operations are done with helios and fixed wing planes.

Planes are also vital in tracking, identifying, and guiding SAR targets to assist in the efforts. Fixed wing pilots also make supply drops, provide resources and relief in times of natural disaster, and help prevent weapon, drug, and human trafficking.

This past week, 2/c Kane Sistrunk and 2/c Nick Sanders had an opportunity to learn about these career opportunities first hand through the Cadet Aviation Training Program (CAT-P) in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

Their summer training was hands-on, immersive, and gave them memories and views of a lifetime!

The time spent on base gave them unique networking opportunities to forge their path after graduation as well!

Why grind at a conventional college-kid job all summer for minimum wage, when you can gain the experiences and opportunities of a lifetime with the US Coast Guard?!

⁉️🌊🚁 if you couldn’t tell by the ear to ear smile, 3/c Aidan Barry is LOVING his experience at Station Gulfport in Mississippi to kick start his Coast Guard Summer!

Barry is at Gulfport for five weeks, practicing search and rescue cases and doing recreational ship boardings with Officers to ensure safety and maritime laws are being followed 🚤

The kicker - There’s also a wrestling room by his station, so when he’s not learning and on the water, he’s training and kicking some butt! 🤼‍♂️

Life experience, travel, hands-on education… All sponsored by the Coast Guard… This place is special.

Keep representing the SPAR LIFE, Aidan! 💪
