In what made the cutting room floor from Episode 3, CAPT(Ret.) Pruitt discusses some factors that can truly distinguish your record/performance from your peers, the differences between commanding a major cutter vs. a patrol boat and the unfortunate time he had to temporarily relieve the skipper of another cutter. Below are some minor show note corrections from our discussion: 5:12 - CAPT(Ret.) Beverly Kelley was commissioned in 1976, not 1980. 46:24 - the individual referenced in the conversation was Rudy Giuliani, not Robert DeNiro.
