Annie's Journey in the USCG

July 24, 2010



This blog was created for my beautiful baby girl, Annie who is about to leave on her long awaited journey into the United States Coast Guard.


It is with both sadness and joy that I am creating this blog so that family and friends can follow her journey.

Sadness because she is my baby girl and I will miss her terribly! Joy because I know this is something she has wanted to do with her life and I have no doubt that she will succeed! In fact, she will excel! Annie is a very determined young woman and when she sets her mind to do something, watch out. She strives for perfection and that will only enhance her performance and journey while in the USCG.

Annie's 1st assignment - USCG Cutter Dallas, Charleston, SC


We are almost there! Annie is continuing to heal and is scheduled to graduate October 22, 2010. She received her first assignment and will be on the USCG Cutter Dallas, which is stationed out of Charleston, SC.

The USCG Cutter Dallas (WHEC 716) is one of only two Coast Guard high endurance cutters on the East Coast. The Dallas primarily patrols the Caribbean for counter-drug operations that include identification and prosecution of suspected drug traffickers. The ship's crew also keeps watch near the Cuban coast, patrolling for Cuban-American protesters' vessels and illegal migrants at sea. The Dallas often hosts Coast Guard cadets, officer candidates and foreign nationals for hands-on training. The Dallas also assists in humanitarian efforts when requested such as the Haitian Earthquake earlier this year.
