I was first stationed in Virginia and did 9 deployments all over the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic, and Pacific on a 270' Cutter for 2.5 years doing drug and migrant interdiction. 6 months of aviation maintenance school followed and afterwards, I transferred to my first and final aviation unit in Cape Cod, MA on H60 Jayhawk Helicopters.
