00:00.040 --> 00:02.380
it started out when the program began

00:02.390 --> 00:04.660
basically as just a water rescue

00:08.040 --> 00:09.929
over the last decade . Especially

00:09.929 --> 00:12.096
that's that's really developed . We've

00:12.096 --> 00:14.318
had more roles and responsibilities put

00:14.318 --> 00:16.262
on to us . We now outside of water

00:16.262 --> 00:18.151
rescues will do inland search and

00:18.151 --> 00:20.373
rescue with hurricanes . We do a lot of

00:20.373 --> 00:22.429
urban search and rescue were getting

00:22.429 --> 00:25.100
training constantly new ways to deploy

00:25.110 --> 00:27.380
new ways to recover people in varying

00:27.390 --> 00:29.470
situations being in new Orleans with

00:29.470 --> 00:31.526
hurricane season coming right around

00:31.526 --> 00:33.303
the corner . Again , the rescue

00:33.303 --> 00:35.470
swimmers along with the pilots and the

00:35.470 --> 00:37.526
air through the flight mechanics are

00:37.526 --> 00:39.748
constantly training . Our mission is to

00:39.748 --> 00:41.914
assist distressed personnel out in the

00:41.914 --> 00:43.970
maritime environment from the rotary

00:43.970 --> 00:46.192
wing platform . This is the busiest air

00:46.192 --> 00:48.192
station in the Coast Guard . We get

00:48.192 --> 00:50.414
calls multiple times a week . Our calls

00:50.414 --> 00:52.830
range from Medevacs , two P i W s ,

00:52.830 --> 00:55.720
which is a person and water during a 24

00:55.720 --> 00:58.100
hour duty period . When SAR alarm goes

00:58.100 --> 01:01.400
off , we suit up , we head out and we

01:01.400 --> 01:02.450
go help .
