⚙️Behind every successful mission is always someone keeping the gears turning. Petty Officer Third Class (PO3) Day has been recognized for exactly that!

PO3 Day’s efforts were integral in maintaining life rafts, watertight integrity, and firefighting systems of the Charleston based cutters. Additionally, he prototyped a generator-excitor removal tool to ease the workload of the technicians ⚒️🧯

Using his knowledge of welding and fabrication, PO3 Day bolstered operational readiness and safety of National Security Cutters and Seagoing Buoy Tender.

Bravo Zulu, Shipmate! 🛟⚓️

🌀 A Reenlistment with a Twist!

Today at Base Charleston, we had the honor of reenlisting HS1 Comolli… though not quite in the usual fashion.

HS1 chose to reaffirm his commitment to the U.S. Coast Guard while hanging upside down—proving once again that no matter the orientation, he’s all in. His dedication, professionalism, and sense of humor are exactly what make this service great.

Bravo Zulu, HS1 Comolli! Thanks for keeping us grounded—even when you’re not. 🇺🇸💪
