Let’s kick the tires and light the fires!! Two Air Station Miami HC-144 Ocean Sentries start up to conduct routine Maritime Border Security patrols in their Area of Responsibility. Did you know Air Station Miami has been conducting this mission since 1932? Now you do! If you visit their page, you can see a photo of their first three aircraft that was taken in 1934!

The Coast Guard K-9 Program: Guardians of the Waterways ??? When most people think of the U.S. Coast Guard, they picture boats, helicopters, and rescue swimmers braving the seas.

These four-legged heroes play a crucial role in national security, protecting ports, waterways, and maritime infrastructure from threats. ??: Coast Guard K9 crews pose for a photo at Maritime Safety and Security Team Houston, Texas, Feb. 3, 2022.

“I feel the need. The need for speed!” While you won’t be conducting operations in military aircraft, the Auxiliary has many opportunities whether you crave adventure or want to stay close to home.

Stay anchored in the present by powering down distractions. Boating offers a natural escape from the constant digital distractions of modern life by placing you in an environment that encourages presence and mindfulness. Here’s how: engaging with nature, and social interaction with others on the boat. Boating requires you to focus on simple, immediate tasks—navigating, observing the weather, or managing equipment—helping you be mindful and present. The simplicity of life on the water contrasts with the complexity of constant notifications, emails, and social media updates. Ultimately, boating helps people disconnect by immersing them in an environment that values presence, engagement, and nature over the overstimulation of the digital world. ??: National Safe Boating Council #USCG #CoastGuard #USCGAux #GoCoastguard #semperparatus #MondayMotivation #MondayMood #MondayMorning #MondayBlues #MondayNight #PTWM
