U.S.C.G. Letter of Commendation

This is why you are bashing me because you have nothing better to do . This is your entertainment for the night.

Look man, you called and wrote the Coast Guard asking to have yourself awarded a medal or award. That is tasteless man. Decorations are awarded to those who have independently been deemed to have earned them. Then, when the CG didn’t reply to your request, you came on a public forum to whine about how you weren’t given the recognition you thought you earned. You posted the address of the CG Commandant, which, in my opinion was a blatant and misguided attempt to have someone take up your case and write the CG on your behalf.

There is nothing stopping you from writing the community news editor of your local rag paper and telling them your story… hell send it anonymously if you want. Maybe you’ll get a few lines below the fold on page B65. Or write your local politician, they’ll send you an atta-boy letter for just about anything… or save that for when you out sell your neighbors 8-year old next Girl Scout Cookie Season.

But don’t write the Coast Guard asking for a medal, then bitch about not being selected for the medal. Do not attempt to lower the threshold for awarding a personal decoration of valor or lifesaving just because you want to wear something on your 100-ton captain khakis.

Ya, that was already mentioned about 39 or 50 post ago. Why repeat it. I get you an the other SA’s point. Why don’t you an your other fellow sea man have the decency to come to a halt about this thread, It’s over with you an your other fellow seaman made yall’s point. Now be a decent human being an go on about your posts , conversations.

I should be awarded a medal for keeping my mouth shut all this time!

hey you got your 2 cents in.

i wanna gamble now. the anny is 2cents with 2 cent bids

see… do i seem one bit disturbed by this. No. it has now turned into a comical.

I should be awarded a medal for not sticking an icepick in my eyes after reading this crap. I am going to write the commandant and demand he immediately issue CAPT. Robert an unlimited masters license. It’s patently obvious he is overqualified for the 100 ton Near Coastal ticket.

Here’s the thing, bunky … you seem to have the need to have the last word in this. Your ego demands it. Your ego ain’t gonna get what it wants.

I reccomend you take a different tack in your approach to this forum, or you will continue to be bandied about like a red headed step child.

You are dealing with some people here who are Olympic gold medal winners in the verbal judo event.

Wow…

Great thread… for those who may’ve missed it, perhaps a mention could go here…

Wait… Is this thread started by you. by txkingfish, flyer69, jon, or anyone else posted to this thread. I think not, for the record you all seem to still reply back. I started this thread. I may say what I feel like, an as to anyone else. If you do not have anything to say don’t say it. to Mr. BAN MAN Flyer69. Do you think I give a flies dirty a** about being banned from this site. I have no reason to be banned. You all are the ones making the obnoxious and uncalled for comments an bashing me. So…Go figure that one out BAN MAN. Reply back with more uncalled for comments brewing up in your head. Why don’t you do that.

Put it there i don’t care. It’s all fun an games to me. I’m amazed by the stupidity that Americans do for the sake of entertainment because they have nothing better to do.

With pleasure.
I am a little bit confused as to why you labeled me as the BAN MAN, though? Are you still intoxicated from last night and have a hard time with reading comprehension? It wasn’t me who came up with the lock and ban idea for this thread. I would rather see it left open, because I am bored and watching you make a fool of yourself is very entertaining.
Were you picked on in high school?

pot. kettle. black.
What does nationality have to do with this?

Grown Men acting like children fighting over who gets to hit the Pinata fist an scurry to get all the candy an not be one to get no candy an cry.

Boo hoo.

Why don’t you grow up. Well you already are. Why don’t you act like it. [U][/U]

Another with nothing better to do.

It’s Saturday morning, my sweety just brewed another pot of coffee and keeps filling my cup while I laze on the couch in front of a roaring fire. Too cold to do any yard work. Taxes were done in January. Census form went into the trashcan. Checkbook is balanced. What else should I do today besides raise your blood pressure?

for the “Emmett Kelly” impersonaters that appear on here from time to time…much prefer sequestering them to “ignore list”…anything else is a waste of time…as to capt. robert: “see ya-wouldn’t want to be ya”!!

*Flyer69 your really not being fair to “my buddies” that ride the “short bus”…the little world where they reside is way above all this!!

Dang took ya long enough Seadawg whos next.

This is getting boring. Capt. Robert, from the video that was posted it is not really clear what role you played in this rescue. Can you give us a play by play of the events of the day?
On a more serious note: There are lessons to be learned by hearing about another person’s experiences. Can you share with us what you learned that day, what you might have done differently to have a better outcome if you were ever faced with a similar situation in the future?
