Plummer Middle LOTC Cadets Visit U.S Coast Guard Rescue Station

Disponible en:

The LOTC students at Plummer Middle School visited Ellington Air Field earlier this semester to learn about the duties and responsibilities of the U.S. Coast Guard. The students received a brief history of the U.S. Coast Guard and how this group of men and women became guardians of U.S. coastal boundaries. The students had the opportunity to see the helicopters and learned how they are used to rescue people, and how they patrol the ship channel. They also learned how the U.S. Coast Guard controls, deters, and stops drug trafficking, and terrorist threats. The cadets also had the opportunity to wear some of the gear the pilots have to wear every time they go out on a mission. US Army Captain Al González heads the LOTC program at Plummer Middle School.
