 Thanks so much to CDR Ford, and everyone at Station Galveston and Air Station Houston who worked so hard to make this whole day such an informative and truly
memorable day for our new appointees and their families and for our Lone Star parents who came out to meet them all and share in all the fun !
Here, CGC Skipjack's crew let us take a photo after returning us
to the station from our hour long cruise off of Galveston Island!!
The air crew from AS Houston took questions, gave us an
overview of the HH 65 Dolphin helo, and a chance to get inside.
87' cutters Man O War and Skipjack prepare to get underway with
50 future cadets and preps, familes, and Lone Star Chapter parents
