#USCG investigators find that the pilot of the Ever Forward was distracted while talking on his cell phone and the ship's captain left the bridge to eat dinner when the massive ship ran aground on the Chesapeake Bay in April.
The investigation reveals the pilot was relying solely on his Portable Pilot Unit - a portable GPS mapping solution pilots carry - to navigate & made multiple phone calls & texts before grounding.
This is a problem because crew members often can not view the information on personal charting solutions and must rely on the ships' electronic charts which show a different presentation of information.

It’s unreal what the #DoD #Mandate is doing to destroy this member of the #USCG and family.

Six months away from retirement and it’s all taken away due to this illegal, immoral, and illogical mandate.

That's not really want I want to know; I'd like to know if that's a Motorola XPR 3500e that was allegedly taken from the mercenaries.

What frequencies were programmed?
The captured transceiver is capable of transmitting VHF 136-174MHz 5W and UHF 403-527MHz 4W; digital or analog.

MOTOTRBO™ XPR™ 3000e SERIES
DIGITAL TWO-WAY RADIOS

Using a Motorola with DMR compatibility MAY allow encryption compatibility with other cheaper more readily available radios; and the encryption key is stored on the radio; a valuable intelligence find.

It’s #shutdownstory time!

I have over 30 yrs with the government, 22+ yrs with the US Coast Guard. My husband is retired military and a DOD employee. We’re comfortable, paying cash for our son’s community college, 4 cars, fun vacations.
The lead-up to the shutdown, my boss tells me to pull back my use/lose annual leave. No, it’s okay! The govt won’t shut down!

Yeah, joke’s on me.

Week 1 feels normal since I was on leave. However, we tell our son that his Christmas present is his community college tuition.
Week 2: Feelings of dread start kicking in. My 16 year-old New Beetle is rear ended. I tell my hair guru no cut today, just color. Pay $350 for college text books (used & rentals).
