Calling the Gunrunners
As you know yesterday I was at the change of command.
On the drive home and over the course of today I called a bunch of Marine buddies from my HMLA-269 days. Yes, we communicate by email and are still in touch but nothing quite takes the place of a phone call or face to face contact.
Earlier this week I flew to San Francisco to meet with someone for a few hours because a phone call wasn’t going to get it done. Sometimes you have to show up, sometimes you need to pick up the phone. Email just doesn’t cut it sometimes.
Anyway, it was great to reconnect with some of the guys.
Who do you owe a call to? What are you waiting for?
"Your energetic speaking style and well-polished presentation captured the attention of the entire audience of nearly 300 Coast Guard personnel...Your familiarity with the Coast Guard and our missions was evident, as you incorporated service history and factual information in your presentation... Your sincere, heartfelt presentation certainly contributed to the overall readiness of this command. Thanks again!"
