Station New London was honored to host Admiral Thomas Allan, Vice Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, on Friday. ADM Allan took the opportunity to speak with the crew about the great things happening in our Coast Guard, answer questions from the crew, and presented coins to two outstanding members: ME2 Koogler and CS2 Gray.

This was a great opportunity for the crew to communicate directly with Coast Guard senior leadership and we are very grateful to ADM Allen for visiting!

Range week = great week!

Station members are required to maintain proficiency on a number of fi****ms for their Law Enforcement and Port Security duties including pistol, r***e, sh***un and mounted weapons which you can find on the bow of our boats.

Thank you to the Gunners Mates (GMs) from U.S. Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound for running a safe and efficient range and providing training for our crew! Bravo Zulu!

Last week members from Station New London, along with local partners, attended the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) Shipboard Firefighting Training. Fires on board ships are extremely dangerous and present unique hazards and challenges to responders. On top of the world class training, this was a great way to build camaraderie and teamwork between first responder agencies. Through trainings like this we remain to respond to emergencies and keep our ports safe.

Bravo Zulu to BM2 Prophet and MK3 McClendon for completing the training!

Over the past two weeks members from U.S. Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound and Station New London have been going through a Boat Crew College, learning the skills and knowledge needed to successfully perform as a boat crew member on Coast Guard boats.

Topics include basic seamanship, navigation, emergency procedures and towing. Shown in the pictures are the team practicing passing a dewatering pump to another vessel using a heaving line. Bravo Zulu to all that completed the training!

Signalman First Class Douglas A. Munro remains the only Coast Guard member to ever receive the nation's highest award for heroism: the Medal of Honor. Munro's actions at the Battle of Guadalcanal during WW2 are a testament to the service's long standing record of exemplary service in every military conflict since the founding of the nation. Saving lives is what we do in peace and in war.

Teamwork makes the Dream work!

Yesterday our crew worked alongside a CT Air National Guard CH-47 to lift and relocate a 8,000 lb buoy that had washed ashore on Fishers Island. This evolution required close coordination between our 45' RBM and the Helo. Once the buoy was off the beach our crew towed it to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy to be hauled out for inspection and transport for its eventual return to service.

Evolutions like this highlight our crews ability to coordinate in a joint environment and adapt to unique missions. BZ to all involved!
