OUR WELCOME ABOARD at SFO Galveston WAS TOTALLY AWESOME !!!! Many, many thanks to the officers and personnel of USCG Station Galveston, Air Station Houston, CGC Manowar and CGC Skipjack for all their contributions to this FABULOUS event !!!!! 52 of us, including entering cadets, entering preps, and new and returning family members came to Station Galveston. We divided into two groups; this video primarily follows Group 2. Can you spot our 1C cadet on duty and our 2C cadet who was a guest? We will be updating with more photos of both groups on our PHOTO page. And if anyone has video or photos to share from Group 1, contact Catherine (cathtoll@aol.com) |
