“As an active duty AST, I’m embarrassed by this podcast. They talk about saving lives but the whole “Rescue Swimmer Mentality” is about satisfying their own ego and making some money off the Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer name. These guys did one tour at a sleepy unit in Detroit. They are not “A” school instructors, STAN team or experienced multiple tour swimmers. All you will get from this podcast are some tricks on how to weasel through “A” school. Never met Vince but when I reported to Atlantic City in 2017 the swimmer shop and hangar deck were still telling stories about some dirtbag named Lapointe. After failing in Detroit he was given a second chance in AC where he was finally kicked out of the Coast Guard. If you want real information on what being a Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer is actually about or the history behind the program look somewhere else.”
