I recently attended the US Coast Guard's National Search and Rescue School in nearby Yorktown Virginia. One of my duties onboard the Aircraft Carrier is the Search and Rescue (SAR) Mission Coordinator. If any of our aircrew or sailors (or any nearby civilian mariners) are in distress I plan and coordinate the search and rescue missions. We've been called on a few times and thus far all missions have ended successfully, but until now I haven't had much formal training. This has been an opportunity to learn from some true experts - I was very impressed with the course.
