Few more from our AWESOME Coast Guard Sector tour today. We learned about a variety of careers keeping the coastline, mariners and our country safe, from environmental protection and pollution investigations; law enforcement; ship inspections; search and rescue and a host of other functions contributing to our coastal security! Kids saw oil samples in different states and fascinating facts about how investigators track samples back to ships to identify a spill. The highlight was probably playing with handcuffs, using the baton on the dummy and learning how to properly deploy pepper spray. And then lifting the rescue swimmer rounded out their coast guard olympics for the day □ Visiting the command center to cap off the tour and hearing how they triangulate ship locations brought tv talk to reality and was very interesting as well. And we heard some helicopter check-in calls while there. Just super cool all around. At least one kid left wanting to join the Coast Guard, possibly more! Great field trip! Oh! And then Wendy went outside and threw snowballs at children □ as it’s a rare occurrence to see snow in New Orleans, and I think it made her giddy! . . . #uscg #alwayslearning #coastguard #homeschoolers #fieldtripfriday #hsheroes
