Description
by Mark T. Holmes (Author)
"You have to go out ... you don't have to come back." This was the phrase they taught us and with good reason. Whether on the sea or in the air, sometimes missions didn't always go according to plan. I went out and always came back but others did not and we nearly lost a man overboard but for a miracle coincidence. This is the 10th Anniversary Update of the original book from 2015.
Always Ready - Coast Guard Sea Stories from the 1970s chronicles the experiences and adventures of the author during his eight years of service in the U.S. Coast Guard. In his book, author Mark Holmes recounts tales of rescues at sea, liberty calls by energetic crew members, rowdy behavior and some raunchy antics by his shipmates, all with a unique perspective on the Coast Guard during the evolving 1970s. You'll read about life during boot camp, a daring rescue in mountainous seas, a miraculous recovery of a man overboard, and the inner struggles and successes of Mr. Holmes during the course of his two enlistments. Some dates and some names of people, places, and institutions have been fictionalized, but the stories themselves are a true recollection of or inspired by actual events.
