One of our many missions at the Strike Team, and possibly the most dangerous, is confined space entry and rescue. These teams are called upon to enter tight enclosed spaces with unknown hazards in order to rescue people who may have gone down. We just finished up an annual training with our friends in the Firefighting service.

It is with a heavy heart that the PST announces we lost one of our own to an abrupt battle with cancer. LT Josh Waldmeir has been a member of our team since 2017 and through that time made a meaningful difference to the team and our mission. Everyone knew the dedication he had to his work, both on and off duty. Thank you for your service to the Coast Guard and to your country.

Fair winds and following seas Shipmate. We have the watch.

Congratulations to MK1 Torres for earning the coveted Sailor of the Quarter award! MK1 was a crucial member of the NSF Search and Rescue teams who responded to Hurricane IAN, at one point wading through chest deep water to assist citizens in need.

Another big thank you to the Navy League’s Marin Branch for supporting Coasties in the North Bay Area both at home and in Washington DC.
