#TrainingTuesday Recently, U.S. Coast Guard Station Port Angeles, and U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Port Angeles hit the Straits of Juan de Fuca in Washington State for some joint hoist and rescue training, colloquially known in the USCG as Helo-Ops. Helo-Ops, or Helicopter Operations, are part of regular training between the crews of an air station and boat station. This training ensures these crews remain #alwaysready during joint responses and helps crewmembers work together seamlessly while responding to those in distress. #USCG #CoastGuard #training #SAR #PortAngeles #WA #SemperParatus

#motivationmonday Teamwork makes the dream work! Recently, the Coast Guard Station St. Petersburg and Eckerd College Search and Rescue boat crews displayed coordinated teamwork during a response mission to rescue a 40-foot boat taking on water with five boaters aboard near Pinellas Bayway bridge in Florida. The crews worked together to secure the flooding on the vessel and get the individuals safely to shore. Working with local partner agencies is an integral part of our core mission to protect mariners on the waters and around the coastlines of the United States. #USCG #CoastGuard #partnerships #response #assist #SAR

Attention to award! This year’s winner of the George Gray Award is Ken Stetz for their art title "Absorbing the Roll". This award is named for the co-founder of the Coast Guard Art Program and is awarded each year in recognition of one Coast Guard artist for outstanding artistic achievement. George Gray worked as an artist for more than seven decades and specialized in historical and military themes. With a love for the military, he enlisted in the Coast Guard during WWII. During the Vietnam War he spent six weeks sketching Marines in action for the U.S. Navy’s fine arts program. He co-founded COGAP in the early 1980’s and served as its chairman for over 20 years. He passed away in 2004 at the age of 96. Check out the 2024 CG Art Collection online: https://lnkd.in/edGtE3xS. #CGartprogram #COGAP #Art #GoergeGrayAward #GeorgeGray #USCG #CoastGuard
