Interestingly enough, our former Commandant actually released a statement saying that "Coastie" is the perferred term over "Coast Guardsman". I'm not sure how he had the time with a war raging in Iraq, thousands of drug and migrant interdiction cases, search and rescue ops, homeland security, etc... but more power to him. That's why he's got four stars. Regardless, just wanted to say thanks for the shout out! It's good to know that both our spouses searched for mates in a more distiguished region of the country than they grew up in. So, to my fellow Yankee (and my favorite sister-in-law), I give a very haaht felt ayuhh clink, from fah away North Carolina! The term “Coastie” is correct.
