So I used to post pretty often, but I have been pretty busy here almost the past year. But am trying to get back up to speed with everything. In May I started my move to my new unit with the Coast Guard from NJ to TX. Been trying to get up to speed and qualified with everything at my new unit. Then just recently in August I married my lovely new wife. And just in the past few weeks we found out she is pregnant with our first child (boy) :headbang: So big changes in the works for this guy but I'm loving every minute of it.

Still have the truck, haven't been able to do much to it in quite a while. Just new wheels and tires and a front leveling kit. Plans are to get my wife a new vehicle for the kid then post up my truck and start the build and use her current beater as my daily and gas saver. Not sure where to start first but it will probably be body work and paint. Then more than likely the suspension build up. Hopefully things will start sooner but at the latest next summer.

Bo's'n's have mates?

It's my understanding that the bo's'n is the boss of the unlicensed men. Is bo's'n's mate a title or what? How does that work in the Coast Guard?

He is a BM. He gets to scrape paint, chip paint, unload and load everything that comes aboard or leaves the boat. A real fun job......
