"Out here living our best life" - Ortiz 2021

[sproins]

I love how the coast guard dude was just as excited to talk about the inner workings of the boat as Destin was to learn about it.

[Martin]

It's great to see how quickly everyone switched from casual "this is training time" to very serious "we have a mission"

[MinuteEarth]

Do you think Destin knows he just met a version of himself from a slightly earlier timeline?

Man, this was great. I grew up a Coast Guard brat, and it's been a part of my life since I was born. The thing that continues to amaze me is how welcoming the CG is to visitors and people who want to learn about them and the equipment they use. I've had experiences where I was literally just on the pier, looking at one of their boats, and one of the sailors came out and asked if I wanted to come on board and look around. He proceeded to give me a whole tour of the vessel. Call me crazy, but I don't think any DOD branch would just invite a random person in to look around something like a tank, a submarine, or a stealth bomber. My dad has said that not every station and ship is as open-house as the ones we've been to, but all the ones I've experienced have been as welcoming and cheerful as these guys. Every time I have an interaction with the USCG, whether in person or by video, it makes me want to join. It looks like a great life, and I think I would love the work.

As my dad says (on the CG vs other branches), "Here, you have a job to do every day, rather than training every day to do a job you hope you never have to do."

I worked for the company that built the RBM fleet. It is my favorite project I have ever worked on and I am extremely proud that I was part of it.

[gibbyrp]

honestly, as a former firefighter, seeing them spring to action mode made me tear up. they are heroes and dont even know it. im so proud of men and women who put themselves in harms way for others, perfectly executing their training with a drive and focus most people cant understand. maybe they spent a few days prior training and "goofing off", but that one moment in time is when it all matters. thank you for sharing, and thank you to the Coast Guard for their bravery. Incidentally, I am terrified of drowning due to an accident as a child, and it kept me from going Coast Guard.

From a Coast Guard vet, thanks for giving the Coast Guard more press than they do for themselves.
It’s been a great series.

[paulweber]

I love this series. As a former Army infantryman, and having been a squad leader in a Stryker brigade in Iraq years ago, for some reason I have a newfound respect for my driver after seeing these young Coasties doing their PMCS on the boat. My driver was young and essentially responsible for the maintenance, upkeep, and performance of a $5 million+ vehicle, much as these young people are. I just showed up for the “ramp brief” and my guy was there hours before doing all this easy to ignore maintenance to ensure mission success. The “lowest man” is often most responsible. Thank you Destin for showcasing these young professionals.

[CptSpears]

The crew are so young yet so professional and well trained. I’m more impressed by the crew than the boat.

[ahobimo]

The ending was so freaking perfect! It was like... "So now you know how the crazy cool tools work. THIS is the what we use'em for!"

And just like that, they go from being friendly kids, to real life action heroes. 👍

[_araport_]

Coastie here. Thank you for making videos about the branch. A lot of people don’t realize just how much we do and it’s always great to get some good exposure. Great vid

[lauralivl]

The ship is great but what's even better are the young people who are so committed to their duty and so competent. Keep it up guys we are in good hands and very proud of the US Coast Guard.

[nicolasdominguez]

All this high budget documentals out there, but i love dustin’s series the most. How he shares that enthusiasm and explains everything so clearly ❤️

[AuthenTech]

I was really impressed with how fast that massive boat slammed on the brakes and slowed down, very cool tech

[MIO_sh]

26:42 I really like how that boat did the right drift, and took off to the open sea for rescue

[BeerMe]

I love the level of knowledge these guys n gals have despite being lower ranks. That MK3 knew everything about that boat, when I was in the Navy we never expected that level of knowledge from a 3rd class. Awesome work done by these guys, I'm happy these are the people we have watching over our coastlines.

[danielmann]

Oh my goodness. That exit interview with Ortiz has me rolling. "Chair-force" is a typical 'publishable' moniker for the USAF. A typical one for the USCG is "Puddle Pirates"

[spartanjohn]

One of my favorite things about these videos is Destin's genuine interest and excitement about every little thing and how well it carries over to the other people featured. You can tell they enjoy what they do and are really happy to talk about it when given the chance. Infectious enthusiasm. Thank you for letting us ride along on your adventures and get smarter every day!

[NeroNyte]

That was so cool to see how quickly they could switch from casually teaching someone about the boat, to full speed rescue mode
