USS Wasp, I served as flight deck corpsman early 92 until my honorable discharge in Nov 93. Did the Shellback initiation on that deck when we crossed equator during operations off the coast of Somalia summer 93.

Damn, a lot of respect for rescue swimmers. Excuse my ignorance, but were you a detachment from the Coast Guard or do PJs perform rescue swimmer roles as well? Massive respect either way, I used to watch Coast Guard rescue swimmers practice all the time here in Rhode Island as a kid and my dad did a ton of work with the PJs, heard a lot of stories.

Huge respect to you sir. As a highschooler exploring my opinions, rescue swimming has always been an interest in mind. I have a vague understanding of the risks and challenges that come with rescue swimming, so I can't even begin to imagine the hard work and dedication the entire rate has instore.
