"Work" has a different feel to it when you’re cruising above the Miami shoreline in a MH-65 Dolphin helicopter.

This could be your "office view". Can you see yourself here? 👀 GoCoastGuard.com

🚁 Best seat in the house doesn't have a wristband. While thousands pack the Chicago lakefront this weekend, Coast Guard aircrews are overhead — summer weekends mean crowded waters, and someone's keeping watch over all of it.

Some people watch the adventure. Some people fly it. Your move. 🔗 GoCoastGuard.com

Plot twist: the Coast Guard rescues turtles, too. 🐢

Earlier this year, when cold water 🥶 stunned sea turtles, Coast Guard crews helped recover them and get them to safety. Protecting marine life is part of the mission.

Different rescue. Same commitment. Even the ones with flippers count.

That's a person jumping out of a helicopter over Boston Harbor. On purpose. With a job title. 💪

An MH-60 Jayhawk crew 🚁 from Air Station Cape Cod ran rescue training over the harbor — swimmer deployed, hoist complete, everyone home.

When seconds matter, this is why they're ready.

💙 Big decisions are rarely made alone. This National Parents’ Day, we recognize the parents and parental figures who ask the questions, offer perspective, and help young people believe they are capable of more.

Thank you for helping them take the next step. 👏

You check the weather. We watch it for a living. ⛈️⚡️

Coast Guard watchstanders monitor conditions and broadcast marine advisories around the clock — and when a boater heads out anyway, crews launch into the same storm everyone else is avoiding.

Somebody's on watch either way. Could be you. 👉 GoCoastGuard.com
