As Navy, I enjoy harassing the "JV Navy." We like to joke with them on the radio about whether or not they have their training wheels installed. All in all, they've pulled through for us more than once -- the USCG gives our boats escorts and provides traffic avoidance services; totally invaluable for us. I like their respect and professionalism, not to mention their renown for seamanship. My hat's off to the Coasties.
