I'll bet they do. It has always amazed me when "soldiers" (I use that generic term to mean all people in the DOD military) talk down to and about the Coasties. Unless in a war zone, the ground pounders go out to train, as in play at war. The Coast Guard goes out every day, often in some really nasty weather, on rescues, which can be, and often is, fatal.

As they say, they have to go out, they don't have to come back...
