<p>Hey. I found it before you did. You trying to show me up again? LOL I'm awful proud of the Coasties & wannabe Coasties "Ianianianian". They do good things in the world.</p>

<p>HA HA you posted something about them rescuing somebuddy in Seattle I recall...IAN NOT LYIN' :D</p>

<p>Hey Boss, when the Coast Guard goes into a situation like that what kind of arms do they carry? Are they like the police with handguns? How much weapons training do the cadets do at CGA?</p>

<p>They usually carry a 9mm handgun. All the cadets have to qualify on it. They don't spent a huge amount of time on it. During their 2/c summer they spend a week on weapons qualifying. Most cutters have a machine gun as their biggest weapon.</p>
