Summary: 5 Stars
Have you ever wondered what the Coast Guard does? Find out in this Big Adventure from Little Mammoth Media.
Start out in San Diego during a training mission on the US Coast Guard Cutter Hamilton. You will see the busy Bridge crew in action and learn about how a compass works. Then move below deck on this 172 crew member ship to noisy the Engine room and watch how the team keeps the ship moving steadily. See how well the team works together during an emergency fire drill.
As the crew returns to harbor from their training mission, see various ships and the city skyline.
Next, travel across the country to Norfolk, VA and see how cadets are trained to work with air crews to perform rescues at sea. You will even get to see the largest helicopter in the Coast Guard, the HH 60-J Jayhawk and learn some fascinating details about the helicopter.
Also in Norfolk, visit the Law Enforcement Training Center to see how crews learn and practice enforcing Federal Laws. They show a routine safety inspection as well as an exercise where the officers practice looking for illegal drugs or weapons. You even get to see a Coast Guard dog in action! Next, they show how crews practices= what to do in the event of a terrorist attack and shows how they would board a boat of armed individuals.
Next go to Groton, CT to see the International Ice Patrol in action. The Ice Patrol has:
* Meteorologists
* Oceanographers
* Climatologists
Their job is to plot the location of icebergs so ships at sea can avoid a collision. Brief mention of the Titanic tragedy and the loss of over 1500 people is briefly mentioned when a co-narrating child poses the question of whether or not ships ever hit icebergs. You will see what types of studies are made from satellites and during a scientific mission on board a C-130 plane.
Next see a new class of candidates attempting to become Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers. See their very tough physical training required for this position. Once you learn about the tough training, travel with a crew and rescue swimmer for another training mission in Elizabeth City, NC using a Sikorsky H-60 Jayhawk, the workhorse of the Coast Guard.
Finally, after seeing the various aspects of the USCG, actual rescue mission footage is shown with along with commentary from Cost Guard members and nice background music.
Not only is this DVD educational, but it is inspiring and makes our family very grateful for the hard work, dedication and service of the USCG members and their families.
